Triumph TR3A Rebuild Painting

I recently completed this painting of a Triumph TR3A which was being restored. The chassis is on the floor of a cramped garage with the body against a wall and the front end hanging from the inside of the garage door. I liked the artificial light and the shadows they cast and imagery of machinery. I wanted to exaggerate the straight, structured lines which have an industrial, man-made appearance, without it appearing as if everything had become outlined.

It was painted in goache on A3 card, 2011.
