This pastel / pastel pencil painting was created using Ray's own photo reference taken at the Goodwood Revival in 2023. This brilliantly restored 1948 Diamond T low loader vehicle was parked outside the main entrance. It has this brilliant chrome bumper, which on the day, by getting down low and in just the right position, captured the reflection of the queue of people waiting to start an amazing day out at Goodwood. Ray loved the reflections on the bumper, but also on the rest of the bodywork and wheel. The number plate has been amended to reflect the location and year. Ray loved taking on the challenge to bring the subject to life using pastels, ensuring the colouring, and the light and dark tones were just right to make it emerge from the page. He wants the viewer to believe in its reality, whilst enjoying the original subject matter.
