Here's my latest commission for Youthstream, a tribute to Tony Cairoli winning his 8th World Championship and to honour the support of his father Benedetto, "Benny", who passed away just before the British MXGP in May.
The painting is acrylic on stretched canvas measuring 100 cm x 70 cm and took over 60 hours to complete. Also featured is Tony's girlfriend Jill pictured with Benny and Tony when he won his 7 th world title at Matterley Basin in 2007.
If you go to 50 minutes in this video link below, you will see the presentation to Tony, who was really pleased with the artwork.

Yes Tony looked well pleased. Jill and Tony sent me a really nice e-mail afterwards.
Unfortunately I was unable to go to the MXDN in Latvia as originally planned, due to a tenant moving out of a rental property, so had to stay back to take care of the paperwork. Will definately be there for Ernee and especially Maggiora in 2016 and Glen Helen in 2017.
