I really like this, Frank. It has great style. (I remember these well, and very nearly bought one way back when.)

This is an amazing linoprint and clearly worth all the time spent on it - really good Frank.

Great linoprint, Frank - love the colour. (A lovely piece of nostalgia, remember these well!)

And how popular they were back then. Great memory jerker Frank. My first "wheels" was a Morris minor....(-:

Fantastic Frank. I'd love that in my studio!

Excellent, looks so good.I recall them as a friend of my dad had one , few cars about in those days.

Excellent - well done

Worth pointing out those funny little arms that shot of the car door frames as right/left indicators in most models of that era.I see you have them covered Frank, and a hole in the front bumper for a starting handle...Happy days.(-:

Such clever stuff Frank. The shadows and light are brilliant. You must be very proud of this.

Excellent linoprint Frank, love your choice of ink colour.

Thanks all, looks Like this has evoked some nostalgia. Jim, the trafficators were too narrow at this angle to put them in. Carole, I had a little bit of help from my laptop to work out where the colour tones should be - a process called posterise. Fiona, the true colour should be just a little bit greyer green than this, but it is difficult to mix printing inks to get the exact shade.

Ford Pop was the first car I bought black and second or fifth hand of course, later they did them in grey and pale green, I’m not familiar with the process you’ve used but I really like the end product

Looks good! Frank

I've had very little tuition over the years except for a two year course during the late 1990s in watercolour. Since retirement in 2012, I now have time to pursue my love of painting. In recent years I have ventured into linoprinting, acrylics , oils and gouache. Gouache is fast becoming my…
