Classic Lines

"Classic Lines"  (oil, 8x4 inches)  $225 (custom framed)

Here's another oldie but goodie, from my 2012 oil painting days. This one was from my own DPW Painting Challenge on cropping. See it's original blog post for progress shots!

I might take this one to the Septemberfest Fine Art Fair in Midland, TX, this weekend, Sept 11-13, 2015 (even though I'm only supposed to have pastel paintings there... shhhh!)

Here it is in the frame:

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!
