Kevin Walsh Art

Here at The Motoring Gift Company we have a great collection of the work of Kevin Walsh, our favourite transport artist. Our love of his work started when we spotted a framed print in a shop window, the one of the little boy cleaning his car. It reminded Andy of himself when he was young and how he used to clean his own Austin J40. I eventually went back to the shop and bought this print which I gave him for Christmas, the first Christmas we had together. It's just a charming picture, which appeals to so many people. The original print now hangs in our lounge, but you can buy this as a greetings card for just £1.50.



There are many other examples of Walsh's work on our site, ready to buy as cards or to be made into prints by buying a mount. Some of the cards which have recently arrived include the Aston Martin DB5, shown below.
Or how about a classic Mini birthday card? Delightful burgundy coloured early Mini outside a cottage.
All of our Kevin Walsh greetings cards retail at £1.50.
