Oct 14 Daily Painting Antique Vintage Car Cadillac? 5x7 Toni Grote


I decided to challenge myself this weekend and try a complicated detailed piece. I pulled out a photo of a vintage car I took at a car show a couple of weeks ago.

The chrome and details really caught my attention as well as the reflections of the background in the shined up chrome. I am embarrassed to say that I don't remember what model/year the car is. I am thinking it is a cadillac from the 50's. If anyone can id it for me I would appreciate it!

I am going to try and throw in a more realistic complicated piece in the future so keep checking back or sign up for my daily painting info delivered to your via email.

This is a lovely rendition of the reflections in chrome and metal. I've been fascinated by such subjects before, in spite of not being a "car person." In fact, I actually painted two vintage classic automobiles last summer, and they have been quite popular, although not purchased yet. You can see the Chevy Belair here , and the 59 Chevy here .
Keep up the beautiful work, Toni. In fact, you may have inspired me to dig out my photographs taken at car shows and try another one!
