Here’s another hot rod and train combination. This is a 28×36 acrylic on canvas and depicts a ’32 Ford coupe beating a pair of Reading Railroad FP7 diesel locomotives through the crossing.

New Watercolor – 1966 Ford Fairlane GT and 1967 Ford Ranchero GT
I have added my latest watercolor commission to my gallery. A 1966 Ford Fairlane GT Convertible and a 1967 Ford Ranchero GT. Fairlane fought for Ford in Detroit`s raging muscle car war with 390 and 427 V8s that also won big in stock-car racing. The most difficult part of this painting was capturing in watercolor the candyapple red that was a factory color offered by Ford in the 60s. I have also included a working drawing of the painting. Thanks, Roger
Hot Mazdas
A recent commission. Two souped up Mazdas. An RX3 and a Familia (NZ model) wagon.
This is entirely in coloured pencil.
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
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
