1984 Porsche Targa and
1998 Porsche Boxster
Two premier names in the Porsche lineup of automobiles.
Porsche scored a huge success with the Boxster
model. In essence, it is the Spider recreated. The reference
for this automobile art was a Boxster with the Roxster license
plate. It caught my attention as being a car that belonged to
someone that really enjoyed a sports car. I therefore decided
to use the license plate as the focus of the painting. The other
car in the scene is a 1984 Porsche Targa. The scene is a courtyard
and you can use your imagination regarding placement of the
automobiles. Most views of this automobile are seen from the
front. I therefore decided to present a rear view and I find
it rather interesting. The black, and the angle of both cars
produce an extreme reflective quality, which I like to call
my signature. Reflections, shadows, and highlights are those
qualities that make an automotive painting come to life. Looking
at an object, I always see the contrasts, light sources and
reflections. This is the life of an artist. I like to put automobiles
in their best light. |
