Yes, here's another painting based on a photo I took at a car show in Vinton, Iowa. I saw my boyfriend admiring the car, and thought he would like a painting of it. Come to find out that the car is not a "Mopar" and will not qualify a spot on his wall. Talk about snobs of another breed! LOL! I guess I still have a GREAT deal to learn about cars. AND here, I always thought of them as something to get me from Point A to Point B. Well, it looks like I may need a bit of an attitude adjustment. But here's the painting that I titled: "The Cougar" which I find even a more ironic title when I myself am the "cougar" dating a younger man.

Yes, it is in fact a Mercury Cougar. Please don't ask me what year but maybe someone out there can let me know. Or I could break down and ask my boyfriend but where's the challenge in that. Here's the photo that I based it off of, and I tell you I struggled with how to paint this car.
It's a very unique shade of "gold" and I'm still not quite happy with it. But I guess that an artist is always their own worst critic. But I welcome any feedback you may have and thanks for visiting.
