1969 Corvette L88 Series Commission

Commission of three paintings for the owner. Two watercolours and an oil on canvas.

L88 Vette 1
23.5 x17.5 inches
Watercolour and Ink on Yupo
Decided to go larger than planned and highlight the badges in the composition. Went through a bit of a metamorphosis at the planning stage and altered the background colouring along the way, but am really pleased with the outcome.

L88 Vette #2
Ink and Watercolour
16 x 12 inches
One of favourite shots from my photo shoot of the L88. Kept the same flavour and colouring as the larger sister-painting.

L88 Vette Yellow on Yellow
36 x 36 inches
Oil on Canvas
Employed the pallet knife a lot, along with large brushes to get the myriad of yellow tones on the surface of the fiberglass… didn’t want to niggle with details here – not the intent with my paintings like this; Big and Bold was the methodology here!
