1959 Corvette Painting

Ok, She didn’t have a name until just now, and the winner is “Irene” I have been naming  car paintings female names from their era for the past 3 years. Funny enough, both my parents helped with past car names, I’ll have to let my mom know that I finally named one after her.  This was a quick study, but I loved the view, a picture I found on the web of someone trying to sell this car – and the vantage point spoke to me, not to mention the color (which I’m not completely convinced is an original GM blue.)  I had a lot of fun painting this.  This painting will be available at SKG for the month of July.

Blue 59 Corvette – partial view

Ok, I’m finally coming out of my shell and starting to paint more “interesting” backgrounds on my classic cars. It started with the mountainous background of Monique, the Peugot, then the last 69 Vette driving out of the cit.  Now  I have a Blue 59 Corvette that is a 9×12 double thick canvas on my easel & surprisingly I started it Wednesday (sorry no blog that day) and will put the finishing touches on it this weekend.  The view is of the left half of the car, which is sitting in a yard with a tree on it’s side and another tree showing through part of the windshield, naturally I have included a blue sky. It woke up fast according to my husband who viewed the underpainting before the real detailed work. I love it, so fun!  Saturday I will work on a 62 rear view (yes, I’m showing at Corvette Day on Sunday) – so I will now have 4 in my inventory for my new audience.  Thanks for reading my blog
