Perhaps speed drawing will satisfy my love of fast cars, though in saying that I’ve never had a desire for speed on a motorbike and I’ve owned a Ducati. I am featured in Tim Chadwick’s book Motorcycles in New Zealand, while my sister is featured in his tractor book. But cars; I've totalled 3, which leaves an astonished me. I'm actually alive and reasonably undamaged. Racing is in my blood; my great uncle Nicolas raced a Buggati and my father raced horses. But speed drawing is so not like my morning cup of tea. This maybe an example of ‘opposites attract’ and in drawing a restful object with vigour, they will complement each other and create a pleasing image.
