It’s been two years since famous David Uhls painting named “Evelyn” has been released. And now David adds “Stella” to his Women Of Harley collection. He describes Stella as “not a seasoned rider but more of a rebel immersed in the changing attitudes from the Victorian Era to the Roaring ’20’s”. Harley-Davidson was a catalyst in that change and just seeing a woman on a motorcycle was a pretty radical concept at the time. The painting is about 70% complete and he is taking it to the Barrett-Jackson show in Scottsdale, Arizona which starts on Monday. With this cropped picture of Stella, David wants to tease everyone until the official unveiling. Uhl studios

One could surmise that the paint on this machine came from John Peirce @

I know you’ve all been worried sick over when I was going to get my quart of base/clear (1949 only) *Peacock Blue. Well stop worrying. 🙂 the post man is delivering my quart today.
*Peacock Blue is actually a light blue green. I’ve seen a pic of a black forked ’49 Hydra-Glide on a Motorbooks, Intl.® flyer that Kick-Start M/C Parts sent me years ago. The green looks good. Kevin is painting my ’51-53 tanks and fenders for my ’46 Knuckle-Glide as soon as my black parts have been painted.
If you want true Harley-Davidson® colors, get them from Pierce. He has fuel-resistant epoxy paint in all colors. This Peacock Blue is from DuPont®, “and nowday’s one paint from one company to the next is almost the same”. – J. Pierce. All are compatible with PPG overcoats and clears.
