Classic Lines (my DPW Challenge - 4th painting!)

"Classic Lines"  (oil, 8x4 inches)  
(2015 update: Available again, framed, for $225! See current post!)

Here is my 4th (and maybe last, for a while,) painting from my Daily Paintworks "Cropping" Challenge. I was in the mood for oil today and also felt this contemporary cropping of such a classic car would work better in oil, especially for the size.

I did also remember to get some shots along the way...

 I started with a loose wash of umber and ultramarine.

 Lifted off the light areas...

 ...and painted in the darks, with pure umber and ultramarine...

 ...and in some areas added some pthalo blue and/or alizarin.

 Then started in on the colors, until...

... I decided it was finished...

Thanks for 'watching'! Please forward to friends if you like it!

PS: Anyone know what kind of car this is? (I don't but would like to!) A more complete reference photo is below..

Update (4/28/12):  I just got this pic from a friend (Thank you, Polly!) identifying the car as a 1928 Chevrolet National Model AB Roadster. Very cool!
