"Sky Blue Waters" Frame Option:Framed The first Corvette to pace

The first Corvette to pace the Indianapolis 500 was in 1978 in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Corvette

“Original Delivery” was a commission for the owner of a 1972 Steel Cities gray Corvette with a red interior

"Sky Blue Waters" Frame Option:Framed The first Corvette to paceSky Blue Waters is similar in composition to an earlier watercolor I painted. This one places a Roman Red 1962 Corvette beside a side wall of Jimmys Jigger and a beer advertisement for Hamms Beer with its famous floating bear. I really like the angle of the Corvette and the relationship with the side wall. I love the great colors in this painting.
