Artist's Description
THIS PAINTING IS SOLD BUT YOU TOO CAN COMMISSION MIKE TO PAINT YOUR VERY OWN ORIGINAL OF YOUR FAVOURITE VEHICLE, A SOUND INVESTMENT FROM WHOM MANY REGARD AS BRITAIN'S LEADING TRANSPORT ARTIST. JUST E-MAIL mike@transportartist.co.uk
Before the Tamar Road Bridge was completed in the early sixties there were two ferry crossings between Devon and Cornwall on the lower reaches of the river which forms the boundary between those two counties. The upper one at Saltash was replaced by the new bridge, but the lower ferry at Torpoint still exists to this day and cuts off many miles for vehicles needing access to Looe. Here one of Royal Blue's famous Bristol coaches leaves the ferry on the Cornwall side with the dockyards of Devonport visible in the background.
A painting like this of your favourite vehicle, British or American, in oils on canvas or board would cost about �2000.
About Mike Jeffries
COMMISSION A PAINTING FROM MIKE. It is with great regret that I have to inform you that Mike sadly passed away November 2020 aged 81, but I, (his partner) will keep his shop here going and am happy to reply to any emails you might send to his own email address at mike@transportartist.co.uk. Virtually nobody considered the humble lorry worthy of the subject of a painting until Mike made it so. Years of being at the sharp end of long distance HGV driving has given him an insight and knowledge into the industry that enables Mike to depict lorries as they really were in the past and not the idealized view of the less knowledgeable making him the man to paint an original of your favourite commercial vehicle. He is without a doubt THE lorry...
