Keke Rosberg’s 1977 F Pacific Chevron
Keke is of course father to young Nico who is doing so well in F1 these days but back in 1977 Keke was the man. He came out to the Atipodes twice and cleaned up (in 77 and 78). This is his winning 1977 Chevron B.34 in a super drift on full oppy lock round a right hander.
New Arts from Jorge Garcia
I added a new painting to my series Cars & Girls to hang in a Gallery in Stuttgart with a Mercedes Benz 300 GullWing.
The another painting is for a private collection showing Juan Manuel Fangio in his Mercedes Benz W196 in the 55 Monaco GP who won Maurice Trintignant in a Ferrari

Please email or call if you have any questions about my art.
Many thanks
1985 Nissan Mobil Volvo 240T
The first street race around the waterfront of Wellington was held in 1985. Many stars of overseas racing turned up plus one lonely Volvo 240T at the very last minute. Driven by local hero Robbie Fracevic and Belgian Michel Delcourt it was so late it started from last place without a practice even.
and won!
This drawing shows it crossing the unique 1 lane wooden bridge on the track.

Two New Works in Progress
The two pieces here are WIP’s at the moment. Firstly is a small colour study for a larger acrylic that will portray Gilles Villeneuve in the Ferrari 126CK1. The title of this piece will be “Speed Demon” which fits well with his iconic status as one of the most fearless racers in F1 history. I am also working on a portrayal of a Mustang GT350. Here is a black and white tonal study which will be worked up to a larger acrylic work. I would like to eventually do a series of cars from the 60’s-70’s that have a luminous quality about them with use of bold colour, and combining a mixture of loose brush work with technical accuracy. I will post both of the final colour paintings when they are complete.
Black Beauty
I just finished this piece that I have titled “Black Beauty”. It is a 1937 Delage D8 Letourneur et Marchand Aerodynamic Coupe’.
I will be showing it at the Dana Point Concours D’Elegance on June 27th.
It is a watercolor and is 20″x25″.
