The unbelievable true story is that the former Shah of Iran loved driving his Lamborghini Miura, and would outfit it with snow tyres to enjoy this beautiful car in all weather.

When I saw a video of a man driving this wonderful car in the snow from a spectacular point of view I wanted to paint it.

To see the contrast of a driven sideways Arancio Miura against the contrast of the snow and mountains is something you don't see often.

It was a scene I wanted to capture on canvas.

The Lamborghini Miura is a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 1966 and 1973 and appeared in the original Italian Job film.
