I love Savannah, one of my favorite places on earth. This painting is based on an old squad car they have parked outside of the Police Department in downtown Savannah. I loved the gloss black and the red of the siren and how the black picked up EVERY color around it.
This one took a while as well, almost 10 hours to paint. I know to some painters that is nothing, but as an alla prima painter, that is a long time. I paint standing up as well, so after a nice vacation from teaching, I have spent most of my break destroying my back! I even have one of those fatigue reducing floor covers which actually helps a great deal, even though it smells worse that my paints.
Love this! the view point, colors, texture, excitement....and yeah, the name! and after another look - the big red light at the top corner!!
ReplyDeletehey david!...the time spent was worth it!...lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this painting!!
ReplyDeleteGreat rendition of this car. The dabs of color balance everything so well. Lots of energy. I would love to see it on a wall to get a sense of the size.
ReplyDeleteNice!
