| Lamborghini Countach
This print series is produced with the permission of Automobili Lamborghini.
Each print has the autograph of Valentino Balboni, Lamborghini's test driver.
This scene portrays an awesome road machine
in its natural environment - at speed. A ride in this automobile
is truly experiencing ground level flight.
This is an opaque watercolor (gouache) painting
of the 1983 Lamborghini Countach. The automobile is still considered
one of the most outrageous vehicles ever built. This particular
piece of automobile art was done on mat board, which has a very
pronounced texture that shows through the painting. The rear
view exemplifies the mechanical aspects of the car and aggressive
overall appearance. The title "Ground Level Flight"
is very appropriate since I have experienced a ride in this
awesome road machine. The rear wing and the blur of speed certainly
suggest flying on the ground.
The Lamborghini is one of several Italian, exotic
super cars that have become household names among car enthusiasts.
It is certainly eye candy for the collector car folks.
