Time again for my annual painting for the recipient of the Legendary Driver Award, presented by Sam Schmidt's Paralysis Foundation at his "Racing to Recovery" gala and auction to be held on May 17, 2012
This year recipient is 3 time Indy 500 winner Johnny Rutherford or as he was also knowm "Lone Star JR"
Basic concept is a pit sign board covered with various photos, magazine covers, his distinctive helmet, buttons and various other items depicting JR's racing career ( mostly at the Indianapolis 500 ) Below is the black line layout, along with some early progress pics. Going to make his signature at the bottom look like it was written in chalk ( that's what they used to write on early pit boards with ) Yes, that's a lady bug you see ( there's a little story behind that ) May still make a few, tweaks or changes as I progress.
