Hi...
as promised pic of my first vehicle painting in 25 years.



I used to do F1 race cars a long time ago, and thought a trip down nostalgia lane might be fun.
If I get back in to good habits with these I may try ....wait for it.......doing military trucks pics.

Cheers
Peter

If the military truck ones turn out as good as this bus one you will be on to a winner.

It's great

Hi Cliff...

Aussie markings...of course.
When I'm ready to start I'll give you a shout and you can advise me on the colours and markings...
You humm it and I'll play it...

Cheers

Hi Peter,

That looks brilliant. You have a talent there and it would be great to see some more pics when you complete them.

Do you take commissions? I'd love a full sized painting of me in a thong.

Hi again

There’s potentially method in my madness.
When I get home for good, I will not have a job to go home to. So I’m doing the buses, for example, as a way of practising a particular type of painting that I may try to take up as a means of a livelyhood....amongst other things.

And thongs are not commercially viable...

Cheers
Peter

Hi John
There are a few scenic water colours in my gallery. All are minitures approx 10cm x 7 or less.

Also I will post more as I do them.
I'm about half way through the next bus. An AEC Regent in Newcastle colours.

Cheers
Peter

The thought of your head looking like a potato was bad enough, this image will haunt me for a long time :-) :-) :-)
