I did this painting as a demonstration for a class to show that you can have tight detail when using watercolour and how to make metal seem to gleam as though it had been freshly waxed and polished.
Rather than clutter this piece with background which I felt would detract from the image, I left it as a vignette.
This is a different type of horse power from what I usually paint. It seems that I am doing a lot more of them lately. This one almost makes you want to take it out for a ride on the highway.
