Ray's paintings start much earlier than at his easel. Ray looks for reference opportunities whilst out and about and will take hundreds of photos hoping one will make that perfect picture. Recent inspiration comes from the automotive world, but Ray will look at things slightly differently, choosing to capture subjects through reflections rather than the more direct approach. This painting was created from one such photographic reference taken at Lotus Mayfair in London Piccadilly. The scene captures the iconic Lotus Type 99T driven by Ayrton Senna to victory in Monaco and Detroit in 1987, along with other vehicles reflecting on the showroom window, whilst observing the outside London hustle and bustle. It challenges the viewer to establish what is 'inside and out'.
