Automotive Paintings
The majority of these paintings were created with the intention of donating them to Curing Kids Cancer. These are displayed and auctioned at Mecum Auctions across the country. Most of these paintings take 8-10 hours to complete. Many of the early paintings were watercolors. I found the vivid colors to be difficult to replicate so I made a switch to acrylic paints which allowed me to create more vibrant paintings while having quick drying times.
My earlier paintings typically had a very simplistic background, mostly just a horizon with a simple sky. After making the switch to the acrylic paints, I started to experiment with more creative background to give my paintings a bit more depth. I think I like the newer paintings with a more detailed back ground. I also did a couple of paintings with some old service stations for a back drop. I actually used old photographs of some of the local service stations in the town I grew up in to create these.
1979 Ford Bronco
Ford Model "J" Truck
Never heard of a Model J truck, well your not alone. There has never been one until now. This was a creation of a buddy of mine that was too big to fit into a traditional Model T. Having owned several Model A coupes, he had the idea to mix a Model A and T to make a truck he could drive. Two years worth of work and this beauty was the result.  Videos of the truck ended up going viral on several social platforms.

2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet
This painting was a request from a coworker and friend Jim Carroll in 2022 to give to his dad. This was his fathers 2001 Black Porsche 911 convertible. He framed the painting along with the custom license plate for his dad to remember the car.

1969 Chevy Camaro
This black 1969 Chevy Camaro Z28 is a very nicely done resto mod. The mods include an LS3 engine, updated transmission and rear end to handle the new power. Overall this is a very nice car that made for a nice subject for a commissioned painting.

1958 Chevy Apache Truck
The 1958 Chevy Apache truck was another beautiful design from General Motors with many classic touches seen in many of the GM vehicles of the time. In 2018, Gold Eagle Company (parent company of Sta Bil) decided to build a truck to drive in the Hot Rod Power Tour. They took an old 1958 Chevy Apache and with the help of Hot Rod and Teamcpp, created a truck that would survive the 2000 mile power tour. They then took the idea further and decided to donate the truck at the end of the tour to Curing Kids Cancer to help raise money for a worthy charity. Watching all the posts of this truck attending events and raising awareness for a cause we support drove me to want to do a painting of the truck. CKC eventually gave this painting to Gold Eagle Company.
