Packard

Okay, most of the crazy season is behind me now, and its about time I got back on the horse. So, stepping out of the motorcycle box for a moment, here's 2012's first project (the photoreference anyway). 1936 Packard 12 Speedster, photographed at the 2011 Dayton Concours d' Elegance.

Haven't yet decided on size...likely 11X14" though.

Pulling up a chair, I've got the hot chocolate. This is going to be stunningly beautiful, I can already tell.

I appreciate the vote of confidence, Karen! Hope I can live up to it!

We know you'll live up to it. Another masterpiece in the making.

I know you can do it, Matthew! Love your reference photo

[Garbonzo]

This should be a nice one Matthew. A lot of great reflections to work with.

Man....you need to post a lot of WIP pics cause I love watching a Crazy person when they work!!!!

[PatrickHedges]

Are you going to keep the clouds/leaves in the reflections? Would be amazing if you could get them right.

[XQB]

I'm By God gonna try to, Patrick. That's why I'm going to be kinda slow with updates, 'cause I'm going to be bloody deliberate in my execution (and I worked 68 hours last week, and will work 55 this week, which takes bites out of my studio time). Wish me luck.

WOW! This one will be great! I'll bring the popcorn.

[Foxyheart2002]

I am watching for sure!

Hi Matthew...I'll be following along. Fantastic photo ref. It should be a real challenge but I'm sure you're up to it.

Have you started on this yet? I'm waiting with anticipation!

[XQB]

Back in studio after some eye issues (and an overloaded work schedule). Updates begin Monday, I promise. Thanks for your patience and support!
