One of a large series of oil paintings commissioned of Wallace Trickett in 2000 by B.P. Oil NZ to mark a year of safe driving by all its NZ contractors and also the end of the famous BP shield on its marketing logo on its service stations and fuel tanker fleet. NZ was the first country in the world for BP to trial the sunflower logo which replaced the shield. A total of 22 oil paintings were produced through 2000/1 for the company to present to their contractors. This was the 12th painting and went to Mr Paul Fowlie of United Petroleum which shows him bunkering Seatow 25 at Whangarei. The road tanker is still in operation today.
