Is that your hot rod? This is definitely the best self portrait any artist could have done. Sometimes I get tired of traditional self portrait. You kicked ass in this one! :headbang:

Thanks Doug......actually, the rod belongs to both my father and I. We built it about 4 years ago after his '55 Olds was rear ended. Since that car would have cost an arm and a leg to repair and restore, we figured a traditional hot rod was the best bang for the buck. We ended up pulling the block, tranny, rear end, brakes, wheels and some interior from the Olds and transplanting 'em into this 5 window. Saved ourselves a ton of dough and we still got a bitchin ride out of it! I also recently bought an old T-bucket body that we might just build into a late 40's-era boulevard screamer. We'll see. B-)

Damn, another cool piece. Man... and that's a nice ride you got there, I'm still borrow my dad car just go out on dates. I like the angle you choose to do your portrait, it different. Who takes your photo reference for you, he or she got good eye?

Thanks Allen.... Actually, I take all my own reference shots. For this painting, I set up a camera and tripod and just set the timer. Believe it or not, the wheel and tire are painted from life. I decided to finish it using the reference because there were too many gnats stickin to the paint while I was workin on it outside. Damn bugs!
