1964 Classics

I was asked by a friend to paint these two classics.  The fun part, was that these were contrived from very limited photos and verbal memories of these favorite first cars of her parents.  When her parents fell in love, they both had these cool cars.  These paintings were painted as a matching set to be framed and hung together as a symbol of fond memories from days gone by.  

The GTO was especially gratifying to paint due to the amazing chrome on this grill.  Both these cars are 1964 models (the Mustang is a '64 and a half).  Even though neither car was ever mine, painting them, I couldn't help but infer all of these great experiences young people have in their first cars.  

Painting these cars was a lot of fun.  In fact, I've decided that I'll start offering some custom paintings for people that have great memories in their cars, but no longer have the cars around.  I think I'll do a painting of my first and favorite truck - a 1979 Ford High Boy.  Oh, the memories and trouble I made in that truck!  I want a painting of it hanging on my wall to make me smile each time I pass by.  

If you're interested in having a painting of a favorite car, please reach out!  I have a lot of time on my hands right now.
