Art & Inspiration <<<< Friday Art Show 2/3/17 >>>>

Dig that Spitfire!

 

GaryC...
You definitely struck a nerve with me with your Hopper Artwork !
Hopper is one of my ultimate favorite American Artists...has been for over 40 years.

I have an earlier set of his prints which cover all of those you pictured and many more. BUT, "Nighthawks", from 1942, is my penultimate favorite...it's my "wallpaper" on this comp. and is one of the prints I have hanging in my front room.

AND, yes, there's always room for "Traditional Art" that blends in Traditional Hot Rods...here at the H.A.M.B. !

Thanks for sharing those with us !

But how do you sneak your buddies in without a trunklid?

 

yeah im a sucker for these "muscle cars" of the sky

 

Rolls Royce Merlins...music to your ears (after they stop ringing after the flyby)!

 

Thank you, Bob!

 

LOL, it does have its draw backs .............

 

Man, this car has good flow. Can't stop looking at it. The chick figure on the hub cap isn't bad either.
Nice capture Kenmo!

 

I was asked to put some flames on a lamp shade.
Rattle can paint worked ok,but it needed a pinstripe.
I'm no striper, but I got out with some blue paint, and a crappy brush, and gave it a go.
Not flash, but it'll work ok.

 

First; I want to thank everyone for the comments on my "Hopper Rods" and
second for one of the best shows we've had in a while. Three pages of eye candy and artistic effort!
Everyone just killed it this week.
Battersea boys; I loved the sketchy car lot, and the space-car rules!
Thanks again guys!

 

Cool Gary!you replicated Hoppers sense of proportion and perspective very well indeed.I wonder what you have in store for next week!

 

^Maybe, if Whistler's mother was a hot rodder?

 

How about Van Gogh?


Okay, I can't take much credit on this one (or blame) it's mostly computer generated, I just gave it a better background and foreground to work with. I'm sure Gary could do a hot rod Van Gogh that would kick ass.

 

Well guys, Thanks for another great F.A.S. I left early Friday morning to visit my grand kids. So it's a treat to see everyone's post this morning. Rusty thanks for finding my U.F.O. in Rod and Custom mag. And Ron Brown you were, very busy this week, great stuff. Also the kids had this Pillow for me this weekend, when I got there. lol I think its artsy! Ron...

 

FYI, the correct pattern for D-day stripes is... white on the outsides. Gary

 

Great stuff, guys. Thank you for your efforts.

 

I'm late to check it out this week, had to go to page 4! Nice work everyone! BTTT

I did restore this old Green Hornet model this week. It also has some cool box Art.

 

Wow did not realize it came with Bonneville wheel covers! '

 

Heck I didnt know they meant anything in particular....shoulda known, the military usually has a purpose for nearly every marking on everything...thanks for the info.

 

As massive an invasion as D-day was, the stripes were added to all allied planes for easier/faster recognition to avoid friendly fire.

 

tremendous stuff gang. thanx, my art tank is pleasantly filled again.
