P.J.Williams - Celica 2010
Being Father's day today, i thought i would celebrate a project that i started with my father a couple of years ago. Basically, I asked Dad to make a few drawings of the cars he has owned over the years with the intention of incorporating his drawings into my paintings at some stage. He has quite a passion for motor vehicles and is a keen follower of the tv series 'Classic Restos', which i have watched with him from time to time. Today, for his Father's day gift, my sister and i organised a '64 MGB day hire and he was...well...super pumped! Can't wait to acquire a few J.G.Williams inspired MGB drawings and who knows where this one day will lead.
Hm, seems like your dad is quite a car aficionado. He has a keen interest in the restoration of classic cars, yes? It can be quite fun to see the work done on those old vehicles. It's like taking them back into the factory to make them brand new again...

Yes Delsie, my Dad loves cars. He really does enjoy watching the restoration of an old classic- its quite satisfying to see them go in looking so old and beat and then come out the other end gleaming like new! Kind of magic.
ReplyDeleteHe loved his day with the MGB too. He was surprised at how heavy the steering was, but said it was an experience he will always cherish.
Thank you for your comments,
