Thank you my friend. I, like you, have so many favorites that it is hard for me to decide which one's I want to display. I have a little art gallery hall with halogen tracks and recesses that highlight my favorite pieces. Problem is, everytime I complete a new piece, it becomes my favorite... until the next one is complete. I stopped replacing the pieces, too much work and not enough time. My mind is saturated with ideas from an unknown Muse. I have been swimming through a votex in a sea of creativity and cannot stop my stroke. 
Being blu is a good thing:
Here is my newest favorite.

Okay, had some grief about the pop art. How about Impressionist. This is a little older piece but wanted to get some opinions to see if you guys like this style at all.
Let me know what you think.

You know I didn't like the way my initial comment read so I gonna try again.
Jim, Van Gogh? I am very humbled by your comments.
Thanks very much Jim,
Your kids are going to grow up with good healthy egos.
Now that's much better!!!

Sad to hear your comment Phil, I was hoping more people would like that style. 
It really does look incredbile once printed in a large format. The colors just pop out and I like looking at it. A lot of my friends have commented on how much they liked it so I am a bit surprised. Phil, man cannot live on bread alone. Don't like Mondrian? I thought 993 negotiating a tight turn at Daytona was pretty good. 
Is there anyone who likes the impressionist piece or anything other than the realisim or semi surrealism in my work??? I got's ta know. 
And Phil, here is some surrealism just for you. If you like, I can always add a melting clock. I have posted this in another thread but some may have missed it so this one's for you Phil.

I like it all. For me to paint I gotta do realism, in wildlife its almost neccessary, but not always. I love to look at all art. I like monet but I wouldnt paint that way. I love VanGough (I know I am gonna get an earful!) but I wouldnt pain that way. I like your color treatments and I would/will buy it. But I wouldnt paint that way. One of the ladies I studied with is big time now look at how she treats her animals. I would never paint this way but I love her stuff. I studied under Carl Brenders (of Belgium) and I like to paint that way. But look at Sue Dunkers work:

Very well said Paul,
All art is beautiful in one way or another, really. It is an expression of what and who we are. Why do you think parents love their childrens rudimentary art so much, then hang it on their refrigerator doors on display. They love looking at it, not because it is great but because of the expression of life on display. Life is art and art is life, and life is everything.
Dunkers work is very fresh and original, I really like her use of color. You have a great talent Paul and I am looking forward to seeing your new pastels. Thanks for sharing the great pic.
Phil, you gotta expand your horizons. Look at the Photowerk (Porsche in Paris) as more art than car. Why not throw the image of a Porsche into the art for good measure, I say. Work it from the reverse angle, ya know? Phil you are such a smart, well rounded guy that I find it a conundrum that you are being so limited in your appreciation for the many styles and expressions of art. Although it is natural to prefer certain things over others. That's what makes for horse racing, right. I think I am going to keep experimenting and pushing the envelope but will always continue to produce the more traditional style of my werks.

Case in point, look at this pic that one of our Rennlist member son did. Is it a great technical drawing, no but is it art, yes. It has it's own beauty through his expression. Can't you just see the love of Porsches showing through?

Alan perfect example. Its what motivates the artist. Thats whats important. Because if you can't pour some of your self into it then its just a drawing painting or picutre, but when you leave yourself behind THEN it becomse art!

mnmblu,
What are you going to do with all these great pictures? I find it wasted just posted here. Ever think of coming up a coffee table type Porsche pictures book by mnmblu? I'd order a copy right away...
As to art appreciation. It is not that I do not appreciate non-realism art forms, it is just that IMHO I like a Porsche to look vividly, gleaming machine-like.
As an amateur artist, this is my style (never did a Porsche though..)
