space is thing they always talk about. Even in this piece I
never painted any trees.
I painted the canvas first and the sky afterwards. Can you do
that with subject matter?
The
Targa Florio, one of the oldest road races in the world, took
place on the twisty two lane country roads in Northern Sicily,
from
1907 to the late 1970s. It
was run as a time trial, and so each car left the start line
alone. This meant that you could be passed by a car that you
couldn't see. So you race against ghosts the whole way.
My
wife Angela and I were lucky enough to drive on (what for me)
was hallowed ground.
