“Jaguar fixed head E-Type and P&O Canberra at Southampton Docks”

Artist Bernard Reeves was inspired to paint this image by a 1930s poster for a shipping line because he was impressed by the graphics of the ship, and he is also a Jaguar enthusiast. Based in Herefordshire, England, Bernard specializes in oil and gouache paintings. His portfolio includes classic, sports and Formula One cars, racing car drivers and sports personalities. His images are also available in prints to fit standard frames. Commissions are welcomed, and his paintings can be viewed by visiting the Atelier Reeves website: www.altelierreeves.co.uk
