Old E.H.Holden - acrylic on canvas by 


a commission for a friend’s sister. I enjoyed painting this, but am worried I am getting too involved in painting cars and not enough of painting boats!

I work as an in-house artist for a large and successful art consultancy so this portfolio represents the work I love to do, not the work I do to make a living! I enjoy my work ~ everyday brings something new ~ and the income I earn frees me to create the work I love in my spare time.

    Cool piece of Aussie history Christine, I had a brown EJ 1963, still my fav car.

  • i think that’s why so few of us wrapped ourselves around trees then…the cars were solid and just didn’t go that fast- we didn’t even care that it took all day (with a couple of stops to let the engine cool down) to get to the beach – it was all about the journey – not the destination!!
