“I wanted to create a tribute to all the car enthusiasts of the past that were compelled by the need for speed, to preserve and maintain these pieces of American history and for abiding by the car lovers unwritten motto, ‘There’s always room for one more!’"- MICHAEL IRVINE “I wanted to create a tribute to all...

“When creating a painting and deciding on the subject matter, I try to make a connection between the three main elements — the cars, the setting and the title. I have successfully completed a piece when all three work together. In this painting I chose big block Fords as the subject with a few specifics thrown in just for fun."- MICHAEL IRVINE “When creating a painting and...

"The biggest challenge with this painting was creating a drive-in theatre scene, without featuring the 'big screen.' I didn't want the cars to be visually overpowered by the setting, or dwarfed by the size of the movie screen. The movie playing is secondary — the cars are the stars! The second challenge was choosing the right scene to reflect into the... "The biggest challenge with this...

"A few years back, while at the Wellborn Muscle Car Museum, we were given the chance to visit the Talladega Superspeedway and experience our first live Nascar race. What made it even better for me, was seeing over 70 Aero Warriors take to the track. Had it not been for Nascar's rules to make at least 500 of them available to the public, these incredibly...

$170.00 Available"BEEP BEEP!" "BEEP BEEP!"
“I wanted to create a piece that was a fusion of the machine with the iconic location of the cartoon character it was named for. I chose to replace the animated Road Runner, with Plymouth’s version — putting real cars in an environment based on the imaginary setting of the cartoon. I didn’t want to recreate the cartoon, but bring some of its elements into... “I wanted to create a piece that was...

“We've all heard the stories about that low mileage, well preserved muscle car found in a barn. What if instead of just looking inside the barn, you ventured beyond it, to make the ultimate find. Not just one ... but an entire collection of high performance vintage iron. Sure the paint may be a little faded, or a new set of tires needed, but overall the... “We've all heard the stories about...

$160.00 Available"Bird Sanctuary" "Bird Sanctuary"
“After spending a few days under the tents at the Barrett-Jackson Auction, surrounded by some really nice cars, it was time to experience Arizona's 70 mph speed limit! The drive provided the inspiration I needed. The desert-like terrain offers the perfect setting for preserving muscle cars. I chose the Firebirds because we own one, and with Phoenix just... “After spending a few days under the...

“I've always liked the Camaro, even owning and restorng a '73 at one point. When I saw the aggressive lines of the new retro body style, I knew I was going to do another painting! I wanted to bring across the idea of classic and new — a 'back to the future' kind of a thing — bringing the viewer from then to now. That's why I utilized the big sky, to... “I've always liked the Camaro, even...

“Many of the roads we’ve traveled have taken us through beautiful farm country across North America. Images of rolling hills, flat fields, and old barns really inspired me when I started this series. Putting the cars in a natural environment allows me to play with cast shadows and sunbeams. And, it allows me to add other elements like the tractors. I... “Many of the roads we’ve traveled...

“Creating the last painting in a trilogy gives me the satisfaction of finishing the story as I imagine it. For me, the scene is complete — the first and last paintings acting as bookends. Complex, detail intensive and technically challenging, I hope that a painting like this sparks the imagination of the viewer — enabling you to continue to explore the... “Creating the last painting in a...

“These cars were (and are) all about performance, speed and styling. When I decided to create a painting featuring the Challenger and Cuda, I knew they could not be standing still. I wanted to capture the thrill of competition between the street versions of the famous race cars, while paying tribute to their true origins. What a rush it would have been... “These cars were (and are) all about...

"As an artist, you don't know what will inspire you or when. I'd been thinking about a Boss painting for a while. Then one day I'm flipping through a copy of "Mustang Magazine" and there's a double page spread aerial photo of Kar Kraft's Brighton Michigan Plant in 1969. That did it! The article compelled me to contact the owner of the photo, Randy... "As an artist, you don't know what...
