Dripping paint here looking like heavy rain. We say that boring moments or activities in life are like "watching paint dry".. but paint can be and is exciting. Colour in the hands of skilled artists often is exciting to watch something being created before or eyes.

As we are taught at school ...EACH rainbow has 7 visible colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. BUT is that true? Well NO... Issac Newton did a great deal of pioneering work on light and summarised the effect of white light being split into colours at the familier red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, But this is only a SUMMARY. There are millions of colours that our eyes can detect, more colours than we can put a name to, and so the rainbow "7" are bands of similar colours.

I love to look at rainbows with childlike pleasure. Similarly with shafts of light that stream through intricate stained-glass or a busy artists palette. It lifts the soul. After the gloom, comes light. After the storm, comes brightness again. Also in life.

Though the words “stained glass art” may trigger thoughts of medieval cathedral windows, today’s contemporary artists are proving that the thousand-year-old craft is anything but outdated. Inspired by the stained glass of the Middle Ages, many of today’s contemporary artists put a modern twist on medieval techniques are are free to exploit the full colour range in 2D and 3D art works, that transform entire environments with dazzling, abstract beams of light and colour.

Series of artist paint palettes with the effect of MIXING colours. All colours are represented. Many will have a favourite colour or colours - they are here!

Back in the late '50s, hot rodders were increasingly attracted to newer cars making their way into junkyards, or more specifically, the OHV V8 engines they brought with them. An engine that made more power than their flathead V8's, was all too enticing, though the swap wasn't exactly straight forward. Of course, hot rodders were an ingenious bunch, and came up with all kinds of mounting solutions, but none of them were exactly great (or safe). Seeing a need, Hurst came out with their Adjusta-Torque engine conversion mount in 1960, promising a true bolt on solution for OHV engine swaps.
