JoAnne is correct the piece was done in 1982, the car was 1954, the award at Parade was 2005. That makes the circle 51 years around. Makes me feel old!

These are very good questions. The painting has been in my possesion since its completion. I did the piece for myself as it was my car long ago. It was also burried for many decades in storage, not being viewed. As the Parade was getting closer and I had recently rediscovered the painting in a move to a new studio I wanted to donate the painting to the Art Show at Parade. I entered it in the art competion and put a dollar value on it deciding that if it sold the money paid would go to the sponsering regions favorite charity. The really great part of this story is that the painting took 1st place in the professional catagory, sold and is now in the possesion of a true 356 beliver. All good.

Hi Michael...I don't know about Carreras at the Ventura 2005 but I know a 1959 was spotted this weekend cruising the Brazilian's country side...in good company by the way...a 1971 911S...I like this picture very much!
