I love car art, whether it be paintings of cars or car parts, photographs of either, hood ornaments, door handles, even bumpers and grills. From time to time I pick up piece, or my wife does.
My Son is a digital art’s major and photographer and he takes some great shots and produce some fantastic images. The image of the two corvettes at an auto cross is his creation. Interesting enough the red vette was my 1984 and the black C6 was an oman, as I now own a black C6.
At Barrett-Jackson besides beautiful cars there is a huge area for venders and car art is everywhere and yes my wife did find a piece for me from photographer Shane Knight – I’ll get to him in another entry. But it is a mecca for creating your own car art. It’s a bit crowded to set up you easel and whip out your paint brushes or charcoal, but a good camera and a little skill even the Average Guy and get some shot to take home and play with.
Now I can’t say as I have a great eye for doing this myself but over the next posts associated with this title, I’ll show you some that we took. Believe it or not my wife did a great job with just her new Iphone 4S camera and of course my son with his higher end digital camera and lens.
First up is a shot my son took. I can’t recall the car but I bet someone out there can.
