Original Artwork by Andrew Meikle

I have always had many and varied interests. Over the past couple of years I have been painting in acrylics. My work focuses on my other interests; classic sports cars, antique wooden racing boats, and water landscapes. Many of these paintings are focused on reflections. I am fascinated by the light reflecting in the curves of the car bodies, the reflections of the boats and the sky in the water around the boats, and in the case of this Ferrari GTO being driven by Nick Mason, the reflection of the car's headlights in the water on the wet road, as well as the reflections of the car's roof line on the car's hood. I think that it is these reflections that hold so much interest for me as they define the shape of the car and its position in its surroundings.
