Korean Grand Prix 2010

687
.
acrylic on paper 8x12"

The 1st Korean Grand Prix
will probably remembered for the bad weather
the many laps behind the pace car
but most of all
for that Spanish driver that got lucky

good drive though Alonso

Very well captured the atmosphere of early career, I have been a magnificent job. Prize somewhat tortuous with many setbacks. Some pilots with the potential to be champions, Fernando if lucky tube, weber error could have been fatal for him, Vetel very bad luck too. In Brazil will, I hope your new work by then.
A hug

awesome job Rob, i love these and your cycling paintings. Very inspiring, I'd love to see a video of how you do this impressionistic sort of style that you do, it somehow has at the same time that quick impressionistic kind of loose detail but also just the right detail. The other thing that amazes me is how small these are with that amount of precision. Incredible.
