The story behind Southern California landscape
The picture features two riders prominently – Christophe LeVeque and John Purse, who at the time was dominating the sport of BMX. This race was called the So. Cal. Nationals and this became the basis for the title of the painting – ‘Southern California landscape’.
There was a smaller image on the left which was overlayed onto the main image, which was a problem. Bert’s solution was to use whiteout to cover it and interpret how the shadows would form. Just as Bert was finishing the painting, he needed reassurance that he had got it right. So Bert e-mailed the magazine, explained his situation, and they e-mailed the original image back. Bert was thankfully spot on!
