Harley Ad

I was surfing fleese bay this morning and just as I was waiting for the next page to come up, out of the corner of my eye. I saw the words Caven Point. I dismist at first but clicked back. I couldn’t beleave what I was looking at. Not only do I live a mile from Caven Point Pier but I also watched both planes hit the trade center. A lot of intensity in that water color. Does anyone here have a handle on the artist “Tompson”. Would be cool to follow though on this if they are still with us and local. Bob L

H-D commissioned paintings for the 1981 new motorcycle add campaign. This was just one of them, but it is not a complete picture of the original. I have a complete set of 6 prints, which I had framed. They were given away at H-D dealerships.
Might check with some of the current artists online selling H-D paintings. They might know your artist.

If I remember correctly, one in this artwork series showed the Racine H-D dealership then located on Douglas Avenue in Racine, a city just south of Milwaukee that is also my hometown. Does that ring a bell?

The dealership one was in a Harley ad in a mag or book I think. I believe it had "R&B" on the showroom window. Unless my going, going, gone memory is WAY off!
