Caltex T-Shirts

On June 30, 1936, California Texas Oil Co., Ltd. (Caltex) is created as a joint and equal venture between Standard Oil Co. (Socal, later Chevron) of California and The Texas Co. (Texaco). The Texaco Star is already a hallmark of quality, service and reliability. Therefore, the Caltex logo – comprising a red star intersected by the word “CALTEX” in black letters – is only a subtle departure from the Texaco logo of that time. This artwork is from the 1959 Caltex booklet "Driving Abroad" which is a guide for traveling internationally.

This is a large painting of the very popular Gateway to the Peninsula, OLIVERS HILL. I have the pleasure of driving up and down this scenic view every single day of my life. I was born in this town Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula will always be my home. The painting took many months, probably 6 months to complete. The photograph took some daredevil cliff climbing to get the right view. This painting will be for sale at the SORRENTO ART SHOW 2020.
