On Mother's Day, remembering Natalie LeBlanc Forrestall.

Portrait of mum, circa 1970's, hanging in family home in Nova Scotia. 

Kindly, thoughtful gaze. Mum, missed for a million reasons, every single day.

Vintage Wheels Transformed

Tom Forrestall has joined an illustrious history of well known artists, such as Andy Warhol, Roy Litchenstein, Sandro Chia, Frank Stella (painting on BMW's) who have been commissioned to paint on unusual surfaces; in dad's case on his thirty-three year old vintage Mercedes Benz SL.

Many months long project, that "was like painting 15 separate paintings", has now been completed. It will be on display and galleries and museums in the upcoming months, on a schedule being determined by Mercedes Benz.
