Eribas no cars

Comments

These caravans remind me of le Tour de France. Omitting the cars was a good call Derek.

There will be some at the roadside for the tour Kal. Thanks. Theyt are German design but made in France until last year and Hymer have taken it back.

Great subject and like the way you have handled it.

Thanks Sarah and Michael, someone on WC said she would like more van details, but that's exactly what I wanted to avoid otherwise it would be more like a sales broshure.

This looks like an abstract until you examine it closer and then you see all the caravans lined up. It's a really interesting and inventive painting.

Thanks Thea. It doesnt show the clean neat compact and aerodynamic lines of the design, but I didn't mean to.

14 x 26cms on paper. All with credit cards. This is a row of Eriba caravans, We have one. They're quite quirky and we go to several meets and rallies all over UK and the continent. I purposely omitted the cars which would have spoiled the composition in my mind and the stars are the vans. I may do another one more detailed with cars and figures.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
