The Fabulous Hudson Hornet
The Hudson Hornet was the undisputed king of stock car racing in the early 1950s. With its innovative step-down chassis and powerful Twin H-Power straight-six engine, it handled better than its competitors. Dominating NASCAR with multiple championships, the Hornet became a legend in American motorsport.
My latest creation, embraces my love of old nascar racing and movies. I’m sure this ol’ timer needs no introduction here in his heyday doing what he did best …

It’s Back To The Future Day!
Back To The Future
October 21st being officially Back To The Future day what better time than now to introduce my new print release…
I’ve tried to capture the sequence of events in this dramatic scene that relies on pinpoint timing.
There’s a definite time-line, all be it a short moment, that you can physically follow from the bolt of lightning above the clock tower down through the Doc, up the lamppost and across the street into the car that’s heading for the empty space where it disappears.
I wanted to catch all those moments in one image. I’d like to think I’ve achieved that.

Santa Pod Tribute
Back to that painting I was creating at Santa Pod.
Having put it aside for a week or so and making a conscious effort to not look at it during that time I was able to view it again with fresh eyes. And, taking on board the comments asking why there was nothing in the foreground, I was able to see it afresh.
It needed waking up!
It’s rather noisy now …
My inspiration came from every Lancaster flypast I’ve experienced at the Pod. It genuinely stirs my soul! For a moment amongst the chaos the noise and the festivities I am stood there alone in the reverence and awe of everything this means. The history of the place, the magnificent of this warbird and the joy of the festival brought to us by the freedom fought for by our forefathers.
A regular spectacle at Santa Pod’s nostalgic events is the low pass of the last flying Avro Lancaster (PA474) in the UK

Santa Pod Flypast
My latest artwork, that made a big impression as I was painting it at Santa Pod in May this year, is now available as a print.
I wanted to capture a Santa Pod Raceway in silence as the roar of magnificence dominates the scene and reflects the heroic history of the place.
What do you think?
A regular spectacle at Santa Pod’s nostalgic events is the low pass of the last flying Avro Lancaster (PA474) in the UK, a four-engined, Second World War era bomber operated by the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight as a tribute to all members of Bomber Command during the Second World War and is one of only two Lancasters in flying condition in the world, the other being owned and flown by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.
