Description Acrylic on canvas. 24' by 18'. May, 2009.
I've been fascinated by cars with flames ever since I was a kid poring over my big brother's hot rod magazines. In 1973 I had a fairly generic white Ford that I painted some flames on my myself. It was an amateur job---but it was fun. I happened to go to a car show in Southern California in May, 2009, and I got the idea to paint one. It's hard to pin down the mood of the guy in the car. A little sad and lonely, but calm. In a loose sense, the guy represents me, and the way I happened to feeling that day---he has flashy flames on the outside, but inside, he's on his own, as we always are.
