Hi there,

I'm looking for help with a painting... while I'd prefer to get out in a paddock with a sketchbook I'm getting desperate and time is running out - oil paints take ages to dry in winter and the exhibition is looming. Help!

What I need are photos of old Beetles of the abandoned, lonely, old, unloved kind (sniff...).

At least two paintings will get the Beetle in a starring role. All I can do in return is promise to post photos on the forum when I'm finished...

Three times Beetle fan: a '69, a '72 and now a 2006

Not sure if they are still there but these were three lonely Bugs who had passed their use by date on a farm on the Higher Macdonald River, NSW.

Humpty ( simon ) is a lonely guy and he knows were you will find what you are looking for in or around Perth

Thanks guys - what an amazing property that is!

My son has corrected me - I think what I'm looking for is graveyard Beetles. Anyone?
