599 on Cumberland Avenue


My latest:
A mixed media - ink, watecolour on Yupo paper - sketch/rendering of a Ferrari parked on Cumberland Avenue in Toronto. The car was oringinally black, but i changed it to Rossa Corsa red. Also some liberties taken with the colour of the surrounding architecture. First experience with this Yupo synthetic paper. Alot like mylar in some ways.
24" x 18"

Automotive Photography: Boxer Engine Detail


Recently got two of my Automotive photos accepted in a Juried Photo Show.
A detail of a Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer Engine (above) and a detail of a Ferrari F1 race car. As painting is my first love, i have also been an aficianado of Auto Photography for some time, as my painting is in large part based on the photos i take.
This is my first foray into submitting such work, and my goal was to have one piece get through the qualifying process. That goal surpassed, i did not hold my breath on winning prizes, and alas that was the case. But i was up against people that a. do this for a living and b. have much more technology at their disposal, so i was pleased with what i did accomplish.
This experience has fueled the desire to continue futher down this road as well...

Should be fun...
