CREATIVE
Over the past few years, I’ve inadvertently created a collection of artworks that has fondly become my America First Series. It’s a small series of epic paintings of America’s Sports Car and American iron – aka Haley-Davidson and Indian motorcycle. Several of my America First creations include an American flag as part of the prevailing theme.
One of the big questions that often arises from collectors and museum docents is, “What is the difference between realism and hyperrealism art vs. photorealism art?” I love that question because it involves distinct differences, often blurred and blended.
Myself, 14 other artists, 60+ paintings intermingled with these beautiful cars will be set up and on display through the end of the year. Come on down to the National Corvette Museum. The exhibit is now upon. It’s an awesome show, so come down and check it out.
The LUSTER Exhibit at the National Corvette Museum has been extended beyond its original December 31st closing date to Sunday, January 05, 2025.
My recent trip to Kentucky for the LUSTER exhibit at the National Corvette Museum left me in Corvette nirvana. While my visit was far too short, I savored every moment in good company, whether it was the southern hospitality, the stunning cars, or the gracious staff and crew.
The NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM shared some fantastic pictures of their new gallery, which showcases the LUSTER exhibit, and I could not resist sharing them with you. Beautifully shot just before the gala and exhibit premier, these pictures celebrate the beautiful art and cars adoring the museum through 2024.
For 2024, the exhibit opens at the National Corvette Museum to the public on March 15 and will remain there through the end of the year. MOMENTUM, created special for exhibit features two epic paintings, CREATION and EVOLUTION, celebrating Corvette’s 70th anniversary as America’s Sports Car.
My Corvette diptych was barely finished before shipping to the National Corvette Museum last week. I love the energy of MOMENTUM, my two new paintings celebrating Corvette’s legacy. So far, this project hasn’t stopped for a minute. And why should it? These are Corvettes. They are made to run and have done that for seventy years.
If you’ve been following my posts for a while, you probably already know that I’ve been buried in the studio working on my two Corvette paintings for the upcoming LUSTER Exhibition at the National Corvette Museum. This morning, the unwrapping revealed my two paintings for the first time, all unwrapped and ready for final details.
Mark your calendar. The date is confirmed for the official LUSTER Art Exhibition launch at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to unveil my two supersized artworks celebrating Corvette’s 70th anniversary as America’s Sports Car.
The LUSTER Exhibition, hosted by the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts has been extended at the Blue Buffalo Art Gallery through February 14, 2024 with an impressive showing of automotive and motorcycle artworks.
Most dictionaries define momentum as motion or a series of events and speak of mass and velocity. My new art in the studio is all of that! I could not be more excited as my latest artwork, MOMENTUM, moves forward. Momentum is not about light speed. After all, the difference between the 1953 Corvette and the 2023 Corvette is seven decades of choreographed steps to get from there to here. Nothing great happens overnight.
