One of these days, if i ever get my good desk set back up again, I'll do some new ones.
(I don't have room for it right now and the cats will be trying to steal my brushes and spill my water)

Thanks!
Yep yep. I titled the painting "Audi" because I thought titling it "Porsche" or anything else would be too simple and/or obvious.

Did you see the McLaren?
I never got to see them race when I was a kid.
My Dad wouldn't let me go to the track.
(He'd been there when he was young and knew what it was like in those days.
We lived about forty minute away from Watkins Glen.)
When I got older and started going, the Can-Am was a thing of the past.
And I found out why my Dad wouldn't let me go!
Did get to see a lot of them restored and in action in recent years at vintage events at the Glen, though.
Even today, there's nothing in auto racing that can come close to them.

Can't believe I hadn't spied this one yet! FWIW, the car is a Porsche 917-10.

I grew up in a small town practically in the country.
Living in NYC for 21 years now, so it's good to get out once in a while.

Again, wow! You know how people commission portraits of their kids and pets? You should start doing car portraits for people! They send you a photo of their beloved car, and you paint it's portrait!

I did that once. A lady I know had me paint her '69 'Vette.
LOL! I don't want to get into painting portraits of the family car!
(Unless, maybe, it has some serious historical racing significance)
