Roy Clarke's Replica of his 50's F1 Stock Car

(as seen in the Audi advert)

Roy Clarke was at the show and was definitely a Stock Car addict and a lovely guy to boot.

After chatting with him about heritage stock car racing I'm going to make every effort to try and make it to one of the BRISCA Heritage Race meets this year. For more info on Heritage Stock Car Racing please visit this website:

Roy Clarke's Replica of his F2 Stock Car.

Currently driven by his son Darren Clarke.

The ford display also had a nice range of old fords as well as newer stuff.

A nice little show all round.

Wiscombe Park Hill Climb Report 9th May 2010

GN v8 Jap (acrylic painting)

This was done as part of the live painting session throughout the day (when my fingers were warm enough). This piece was based on a photo taken by Liz Cawley at Mallory (2007) of the GN v8 overtaking a Frazer Nash. Thanks go to Liz for permission to use the photograph. I decided to take the painting in a more dynamic direction by envisioning it from a lower more dynamic angle and exaggerating the perspective to get a better feeling of speed. I will definitely do more of this in future!

My favorite car of the event. I first saw it when driving down the course to get to the paddock in the morning. Makes a great noise!

Another beast of the day, a common frequenter of VSCC events the mighty Napier Bentley. Housing a 24-litre Napier Sea-Lion W12 aeroplane engine in the chassis of a 1929 8-litre Bentley

Not all the cars were big though!

Thanks to all at the V.S.C.C. for putting on such a great event. Even though there was a real chill in the air all in attendance were in great spirit making the day really enjoyable. Plus the fact that I got to paint all day whilst having a wonderful view of the cars going up the hill, life couldn't be better.

Morgan Three Wheeler Club Opening Run 11th April 2010

The live paint at the end of the day. This was based on an image taken from "Morgan Sweeps the Board" of Laird in the Wye Valley Trial (Laird Scrapbooks).

I will be finishing this piece off soon so please check back for more updates.

Painting fun (with a strange man paparazzi in the background)

Morgans as far as the eye can see. Over 100 turned up on the day, a fantastic turnout!

The front end of the Prototype Replica. It was great seeing this after squinting my poor eyes to work out the details of the engine from the photo I was working from for the ink painting.

CK 7831 currently owned by Steve Lister and not changed since the 60s. Great stuff!

Above are some pics from the fantastic Morgan Three Wheeler Club Opening run on Sunday 11th April. It was an amazing day with over 100 three wheelers turning up for the jolly. Thanks to Ian and Maria Parkinson for doing an amazing job on running the event. Also thanks to all the members of the club for making me feel so welcome on my first outing with brush in hand.
