New Watercolor – “SMOOTHIE`S”

I have added a new watercolor commission to my gallery. The painting title is SMOOTHIE`S. The name refers to a term used in the 50s and 60s. Custom cars that had the trim and door handles shaved, decked and chopped were called smoothie`s. The feature car is a 1941 Olds 2 Door Coupe, along with a 1940 Ford Convertible, 1940 Ford 2 Door Coupe,a 1956 Monarch Convertible, and a 1965 Ford Fairlane. Prints are now available. All the Best for the Holidays and a Happy New Year.  Roger

Merry Xmas Car Art Fan!

See Car Art Inc.’s newsletter for December.

Happy Holiday…s

Xmas Tankards I did a few to gift the owners of the places I paint the old vehicles (very well received).

A friend threw the tankards I painted them from my pastels as reference.
A great holiday to all you artists!

New Artwork from Jorge Garcia

Dear Friends:
I have been finishing a new painting for a collector of the Competition History of Carlos ¨Lole¨ Reutemann. In this case his F1 debut in a McLaren M7C-Cosworth in Buenos Aires GP, in 1971.

In my new blog, you will see this work, and  more than 20 new paintings of Classic and Racing Cars.
Thanks for all,
Jorge Garcia

Torino – My Latest Commission!

My latest commission!

This took 10 evenings of about three quarters on an hour each evening. It is done entirely in coloured pencil (Faber Castell Polychromos mainly) and was a very difficult colour to match. But I love the wheels.

CarArt.us News – The Jack Vettriano Gallery

CAR ART, INC. is pleased to introduce the automotive art of Scotland’s most successful artist, Jack Vettriano.

There can be few people unfamiliar with The Singing Butler by Jack Vettriano.
This charming painting by the self-taught Scotsman has sold a staggering six million prints worldwide. It is more popular than Monet’s Water Lillies or Van Gogh’s Sunflowers — astonishing for a man who was previously a coal mining engineer.

Find out more about on their “What’s New” page.
