dgpnaples Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 My wife, who happens to be an artist, had never been around cars until we got married. Then I started dragging her around to car shows not to mention dragging home several cars of my own. A few years back, she started doing car art. I have about twenty of these paintings in my "laundry room" at home and a few in my office. Just thought I would share with the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Very nice! What's her paint choice, oil, or? Look too detailed for watercolor, although I've seen w-c paintings that were realistic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgpnaples Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thank you for your appreciation. My wife says she is too impatient for oil, so she uses acrylic on canvas. Here are a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avgwarhawk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) She does excellent work. Would she paint a car from a photograph? I would be interested in having my car painted.

dgpnaples Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 She does excellent work. Would she paint a car from a photograph? I would be interested in having my car painted.Yes, she would paint your car from a photograph. The paintings you see are done on a 16" x 20" canvas. Do you have a size in mind?You can send me a color scanned photo of the car you want painted. If you have a profile you prefer( front, side,etc) then take a photo as you would like to see the painting.Once you decide on a size and send a photo, I can have her quote you a price.Look forward to hearing back from you.

dgpnaples Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Good morning Chris, my wife can do a painting of your 54 Buick for $325 + shipping. If you can provide a mailing address I can get you a cost fo shipping UPS, which can't be much because it is so light. Is the color black or dark blue? Please confirm.She wants to know if you want the exact painting of the photo or do you want a different backround look. Please advise. Thank you.
