The Girl in the Roadster






Girl in the Roadster



This is a composite of my wife driving around with the top down. She is an aficionado of open cars. She drives with a lead foot, drives deep into a turn and is light on the brakes. It all started with her Willys Jeepster way back in the 50s. She also drove our Mazda RX7 convertible, and two BMW convertibles of which she claimed undisputed ownership. I was allowed to pay all the maintenance costs and drive on occasion. The car is a composite of vehicles from the 1930s in Europe. The art I do from that era is part Art Deco and part illustrated. When you look at publications from the era you see much of the illustrators efforts.
