Hi and welcome to my website
I have been painting and drawing for most of my life. When I was five I can remember drawing a Fodens lorry at Primary school. Later I served an Apprenticeship with good old Joe Lucas and continued painting as a hobby in my spare time. I have always been interested in classic cars and motorbikes so combining both hobbies was the natural thing to do. All the work that I paint is commission based and a selection of these can be seen on the Gallery page. So please enjoy spending a bit of time exploring my website. Corona 19 up-date With the relaxation of restrictions I am now able to travel to your location to photograph your vehicle, discuss your ideas, sort out the composition and to produce a sketch for your approval. Please look at the commissions page for further details. Please Contact Bob via the contacts page or phone him on 01952 412918 to discuss the details of your painting.

I'm trying out some different ideas and formats to display for the new season of Classic Car and Motorbike Shows. The last image was a Jaguar XK Straight Six 3.8 litre which powered the XK150 series and the mark one E-Type. My latest painting was created to show design elements, badges and motifs of a particular vehicle, rather than painting the whole car. In this case a bright red Jaguar XK150 I hope that you like it If you are interested in commissioning me to paint your classic car or motorbike please see the section commissions and phone me on 01952 412918 to discuss your ideas. 
The original painting of the 1964 Triumph Trophy TR6 SS shown above is available for sale for £1000.00. The painting measures 47cm x 40 cm and comes double mounted to give an overall size of 54cm x 64cm. The image is also available as a full size mounted limited edition print of 25 images at £120.00 plus P&P. I am at present working on a close-up image of a Honda 400 four engine showing the amazing four curved exhaust pipes. I hope to have the painting completed in the next few weeks.
