This
is the second painting I've done of George Formby's Rainbow - Ariel Red Hunter
- from his 1935 movie, 'No Limit'.
I've
tackled this one differently, with a more precise brush, to show off the
wonderful detailing of the motorcycle. Mechanical yet curiously organic; you
can 'sense' old motorcycles - the cold of the metalwork, the smell of the oils
and petrol, the tarnishing of paintwork.
I've
badged this as an Ariel rather than 'Rainbow'. The Red Hunter is a most
handsome motorcycle, particularly the pre-war rigids with their lack of
clutter.
