Engagement! And a new painting

The past several weeks I’ve been incredibly busy preparing to ask the love of my life to marry me, so automotive paintings have been obviously lacking. I finally proposed Thursday night and she said yes! What more appropriate way for an artist to propose than on an Etch-A-Sketch

Since then I have found a few hours of spare time here and there so I also managed to finish a painting I started a while ago. This is another in the “Quarter Panel Panels” series, and is finally a motorsports one. We all know that all truly cool Race Cars have trailer hitches (oh yeah, or get towed themselves, but that’s not quite as cool)

So quick quiz for you: what car is in the painting and what famous livery does it have on it?

 

Motorsports Art

It has been WAY too long!  My busy summer camp job ended so I finally have a bit of time to do some work. Also, it has been WAY too long since I did some actual paintings, I forgot how much I love it. I have begun to transform some of my more recent marker drawings into acrylic paintings. I want to get back into some larger paintings (48″x60″ or larger), but available space will not allow it so the next couple will be a manageable 18″x24″ on canvas.

Also, I’ve been talking about creating some motorsports themed artwork for a long time, and here I go back in. This painting is of my new miata, demonstrating to the viewer exactly what you do not want to do in an autocross.
