  • Car Portraits

    I posted some pictures yesterday, that i took of Rijks Spyker. I plan painting a portrait of his car, like i have done in the past for other car enthusiasts. I have been painting cars for over 16 years.

    My paintings range in size but the average is somewhere around 11 x 14 to 16 x 20. The largest I ever did was for Chuck, a collector (only yesterday classic autos inc in San Diego CA. I did a 18 x 3 foot mural for him in his show room). I have painted everything from cars that would drive Ms. Daisy to Gone in 60 Seconds. It's great fun, meeting car enthusiasts.

    I am a real detail freak and a perfectionist, when it comes to my paintings. So what could be better, I love finding beauty in all cars, so long as it had a touch of chrome and some sort of wicked reflection. I am probably as crazy about your car as you are.

    Below are a few recent paintings I have done. The triptych blue (custom) car is one of my latest, Stevie's car. The blue Mustang was for a guy, Gino Who has many mustangs. I am supposed to paint two more for him in the weeks to come.

    That's why taking pictures of the Spyker was so awesome, cause it's made to perfection. Very detailed and exquisite. I'm looking forward to painting it.

    Thanks so much for looking!

      1st one is my favorite. Impressive work, Gas.

      Myself do more photography, including automotive.
      I have a photography session next Saturday and I'll show how it went...

          I really enjoy watching people's car paintings and drawings, maybe even more so than (more accurate) pictures.
          I admire your skills

          Please keep sharing your work with us!

              Thanks again for the kind words. I'll share Rijks car painting when it's done. I am going to a friends wood shop this weekend to cut some strips of wood, so i could paint it like a triptych. Like Stevies car. I am also painting a Ferrari 412 and Porsche 911. Looking forward to sharing...

                        Thank you Gas!
                        I took them between 4pm and 5pm with the help of 2 Canon Speedlite flashes.

                          When will you show your first Spyker portrait?

                              How is the portrait going? And if it's done, can you show it to us? Really nice paintings.
