Butch

I've been working on a model of Nascar Late Model Sportsman legend Butch Lindley's Nova, for a customer, and while doing research for the model, I decided to do a painting too. I had lots of fun painting this one and I tried to depict a typical Saturday night racing scene. Here is the painting from drawing to finished product...

Kyle Petty "First Start, First Win"

On February 11, 1979 Kyle Petty made his first start in a race car ever... It was at Daytona driving one of his father's left over '78 Dodge Magnums and he started second and won. This oil painting depicts Kyle blowing down the short straight out of turn four on his way to the victory. The painting is oil on canvas and is 24" x 12."

Fireball

I hadn't posted this painting here yet and thought I would share. It is acrylic on canvas and depicts the great "Fireball" Roberts off course in his 1963 Ford Galaxie.  Thanks for looking!  

Nicholas Vicente Aleman

I painted this portrait of my son Nick in 8 hours trying to resist the temptation to overwork. I also wanted to experiment with painting the picture entirely, no drawing. I'm happy with the results.

Monterey Historics

Just got back from a fun time at the Monterey Historic races. I loved seeing the Stock Cars there this year and I hope they continue to have a class for them. It was great to see my painting "Roy Mayne 1965" one more time, and very special to see it with the actual car it depicts!

Gettin' with it!

I painted this in 2007 of my sweet little girl, Emily. Oil on canvas

Just Starting Out

Just putting this site together now, and I will work on it more tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any comments!

My first post features a painting I just completed of Nascar driver Roy Mayne's 1965 Chevy Impala SS. This car was recently purchased and miraculously brought back to life. I'm happy to say that my painting is now with the car! Look for the Roy Mayne Impala at The Monterey Historics this weekend at Laguna Seca Raceway. Learn more about the Impala at http://www.nascarimpala.com/.

The painting is acrylic 18" X 24" on canvas and titled simply: "Roy Mayne 1965"
