New Camaros Commission

I've started a new piece for a client who would like their Camaros portrayed side-by-side. One of them is a vintage '69, but both are black. I usually create a small colur sketch in acrylics which I will do this time as well. To work out the reflections and colour scheme though I'm creating a rough digital version of both cars just for something a bit different. Here are a couple of versions of the computer sketch of the main Camaro in progress, this file being created using Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

Sonic Stangs (Complete)

A nostalgic scene depicting an American classic, 1964 Ford Mustang alongside it's new generation successor at a Sonic Drive-In restaurant, in a scene that hopefully reflects a sense of the culture of an American drive-in restaurant. Oil Pastel on Canson Mi-Teintes pastel paper. Dimensions are 27.75" x 11.75"

Lake Placid

A few images from my recent trip to Lake Placid. We took in a Canada-US women's under-22 game at the Herb Brooks Arena, sight of the Miracle on Ice in 1980. We also climbed two mountains, Whiteface Mountain which is mostly climbed by car, the last 1/8th of a mile climbed on foot, very challenging. We also climbed Cascade Mountain, entirely on foot. It's the easiest to climb in the Adirondack Range, requiring no climbing gear, but it is an endurance and fitness test for the legs and lungs. It takes two hours to climb up and slightly less to scale down although that presents it's own challenges. The cemetery pic is in front of the Remington Family gravesite in Canton, New York, where Frederic Remington was born in 1861.
