Havana Classic Reflections by Richard Rees (PPS)
*Live Auction
This pastel painting celebrates the classic American cars still used as taxis in Havana, Cuba. They are immaculately kept and polished to a high shine - hence their suitability for the theme of reflections. The dazzling colours of oil pastels have allowed me to emphasise the richness of the reflections on the cars.

Richard Rees is President of the Pastel Society UK, part of the Federation of British Artists based in the Mall Galleries. His work is primarily in oil pastel and of buildings and urban scenes. However, this theme of cars is the first time he has depicted cars in any of his work and is likely to do it again, having enjoyed the production of this work so much.
