The Canadian Grand Prix
Here is a painting I did 10 years ago of the start of the 1991 Grand Prix at Montreal. I thought some of our Canadian friends on the forum might like to see it!
The painting was 5 feet x 3 ft 6ins and painted on canvas. You don't often see paintings that show the whole grid and not suprising as this took ages and ages! It's all the small background details on the cars at the back of the field that take the time. Mansell and Patrese lead into the first turn with Senna tucked up behind Patrese's gearbox. This was the race that Nigel 'lost' due to stalling the engine while waving to the fans on the last lap.  The painting belongs to a collector in Essex, UK. Any thoughts on it would be welcome. |
