Hydrangea Drive Art Print by Simon Stockley
This artwork depicts a classic Morris Minor 1000, affectionately nicknamed the 'Morrie', driving through a field of hydrangeas.
The Morris Minor, introduced in 1948 by the Morris Motor Company, is a British car that gained significant popularity in New Zealand.
To avoid import duties, Morris Minors were assembled in New Zealand right up to the mid 1970s. Its simple design, being relatively inexpensive compared to other vehicles, and reliability made it an appealing choice for many New Zealanders from the 1950s right through to the 1980s.
The Morris Minor 1000, is now regarded as a classic car and not just a momentary trend in New Zealand, with many enthusiasts continuing to restore and maintain these vehicles, adding to their legacy in automotive history.
Simon does not use AI in his artwork, instead he uses 3D rendering and digital painting applications which he has specialised in for nearly 30 years.
