Chevy Grille
oil on canvas
8'' x 8"
In these troubled times I think it's wise to allow oneself a bit of comfort now and then. Something to ease the pain. This week I indulged myself by painting the front end of a 57 Chevy. Five days of pure creative joy. I was in no hurry to finish this one, and savored each minute. Automobiles can be a hard sell, so I don't do them very often. They're a bit like chocolate, a guilty pleasure I allow myself sporadically.
Motts (below) was enthusiastically approved, and I have been given the green light to begin the second painting for the boardroom. I have to admit this new one's got me spooked. If it works out it will probably be my most complex piece to date. A bottle of Coke covered with droplets of condensation. I'm really freaking out. Starting it today. Wish me luck.

I think you'll do a fabulous job with the Coke bottle. Just be patient. :o)
ReplyDeleteI love what you say about troubled times, and needing to just indulge a little bit. That is exactly why I started the painting a day concept. I've only made 5 so far, but am thoroughly enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your incredible art.
I'd like to second Jelaine's comment. You'll have no worries over that coke bottle! Look forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeleteYou'll do great - how can it be any more difficult than a chromed Chevy grille, which is mind-boggling?!
ReplyDeleteWow! This Chevy is just awesome and the chrome is so......well, convincingly chrome! Good luck on the coke piece.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes !
ReplyDeleteYou're one of those guys who paints to make artists like me feel bad...
Just kidding :-)
Your work is trully amazing.
It's from artists like you that I take inspiration to reach higher.
Kind regards,
José
