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.

Custom Ford Model J truck painting

Ford Model J

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.

Sta-bil chevy pickup truck painting

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.

Black 69 Camaro SS painting

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.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 painting

This Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 was a car that was actually donated to Curing Kids Cancer for auction by one of their dedicated followers.  I created this painting to go along with car at auction.  It's a bit hard to tell from this angle, but this was a convertible car as well.
