This 1933 Ford is my impression of one that was recently offered for sale in California on behalf of the owner from Clinton, Michigan. It is what was commonly known in the 1930’s, a sedan delivery. Based on the 1933 car it had a longer chassis, suicide doors and the rear had a panel van […]
The 1937 Chevrolet Coupe is finally complete. I really enjoyed doing this old rust bucket with it’s patina, rusty wheel rims and broken door handle. Painting old cars is a lot cheaper than restoring them to their former glory or turning them into hot rods or “gassers”. Here are some photos taken during the process. […]
This Oil painting is 900 mm x 600 mm stretched canvas of 280gsm. It is going to take time, so do come back from time to time for an update . The painting is based on a photograph taken in Namibia in 2019. I’m brave enough to tackle most challenges. You’re invited to send me […]
The Cord marque only existed from late 1929 to 1937 but in that short space of time they designed some fabulous vehicles and introduced a host of innovations to motoring.

SOLD A lady by the name of Julie Duell is an American artist who has, for years, added her ideas and tips to her blog, for aspiring and experienced agents alike. When I was getting to grips with the real issues of perspective I found her site and followed her techniques. I then set about […]
SOLD Our farm in what is known as the Upper Karoo is 55 km from the nearest town (Douglas) and 71 km from the town in the other direction (Prieska). Karoo farms that are not on the Orange river are almost all sheep farms. It is a lonely life in the Karoo. It is so […]
One small boat left in Hout Bay Harbour – AP423 There is an artist’s magazine published every two months carrying the usual content, lots of adverts, how to do articles, whats on where, you know the drill. They also have an “artist’s challenge”, where they propose a subject by supplying a photograph, which you must […]
