Our friend and former Hemmings Classic Car Auto Art profilee John Eyre, a native of Stockholm, Sweden, has demonstrated his love of vintage American automobiles through his evocative, often melancholy watercolor paintings of vehicles whose best days are behind them.
John’s latest automotive artwork is now on display in his one-man show at the Aniara Gallery of the Sollentuna Library in Sollentuna, Sweden, and it will be shown through Sunday, May 16. Sollentuna, for those not familiar with Sweden, is located just north of Stockholm. This town is also the home of a new motorcycle museum that John heartily recommends visiting if you’re in the area.
He has kindly agreed to share some of his new pieces from the show, for those of you who won’t find yourself in eastern Sweden in the next month…
"Red Ford"
"As Good As New"
"Dodge"
"T-bird"
And the poster car image:
"Bel Air"
