Description
FOR AS LITTLE AS 1000 YOU CAN COMMISSION ME TO PAINT A PORTRAIT OF YOUR FAVOURITE VEHICLE< BRITISH OR AMERICAN IN THIS STYLE JUST E-MAIL: mike@transportartist.co.uk
The large concern that was Birmingham City Transport tried many makes of bus before choosing the Gardner engined Daimler with pre-selective gearbox as its standard in the mid thirties. Many hundreds were supplied and no.1050 was typical with its attractive blue and cream livery standing out in the grimey background of Saltley Viaduct in deepest Birmingham.
The Inner Circle No 8 turned off the Alum Rock Road at this point into Duddeston Mill Road on its circular tour of the inner Birmingham districts and the distinctive smell of the gasworks on Saltley Viaduct would shortly be replaced by the odours of Ansell's Brewery and the HP sauce factory at Aston Cross.
I gave away the original artwork in the late nineties to Max Grant ( Max the Axe ) a hairdresser in exchange for free haircuts for life. If he's reading this I'd like to borrow it back to shoot a high- res photo to enable me to make a decent print.
A painting like this of your favourite vehicle, British or American in acrylics on A3 heavyweight watercolour paper would cost �500.
