“In my opinion, and I don't think I'm alone in this, 1979 brought us great music, great movies, and great fashion! LOL. It also offered up one last chance to order the Pontiac 400 W72 with a 4spd combo or the Chevy 350, before they were dropped from the option list the following year. Since then, these cars have become sought after by collectors. The... “In my opinion, and I don't think I'm...
"I’ve always liked the idea of adding a gasoline tanker as the primary reflective surface in one of my paintings. The way the tanker’s shape compressed the reflections presented an interesting challenge, that I couldn’t resist. The reflections in the dual tanks of the truck, allow you to view the scene from different perspectives. It’s as if you are... "I’ve always liked the idea of adding...
“Like most sports car or muscle car owners, I’d love to be able to drive my car on a legendary race track! If I owned a Ford GT, the ultimate driving thrill would be at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. My idea for this painting was to capture that split second when all three GT drivers realize they are re-enacting the actions of the three GT40s as, in 1966, they... “Like most sports car or muscle car...
"I was fortunate to have attended the Mustang's 40th Anniversary at the Nashville Super Speedway. It was there, that I first laid eyes on Ford's newest retro-styled muscle car in the classic retro color, Legend Lime. Being the proud owner of an original Lime Gold 1967 GTA Convertible, I just had to capture the moment!" MICHAEL IRVINE "I was fortunate to have attended the...
“As an artist who also collects cars, I want to create scenes and stories that intrigue me and other like-minded people. With that in mind, I painted 'Always Room For One More' 8 years ago. With this piece, I'm matching scale, size, proportion and color palette, but also nuances of my style back then. Let's just say, this painting was definitely... “As an artist who also collects cars,...
"I've heard the Olds 442 referred to as the 'gentleman's muscle car'. But there's no mistaking these powerful machines, especially out on the open road. That's why I chose the quiet rural setting, it gave me the opportunity to be able to show these cars at speed. And to be able to view them from a low perspective, focusing on those cool air scoops and... "I've heard the Olds 442 referred to...
“Whether fixed up or not, street driven or trailered, a vintage classic or fresh from the showroom-the true Mustang enthusiast appreciates them all. At a car show in 1996, surrounded by late model Mustangs, the idea for From Showroom to Showfield first came to me. It's taken a while but I think the result was worth the wait!"- MICHAEL IRVINE “Whether fixed up or not, street...
“They [the Toronto Ford Dealers] wanted to honor Mr. Cruickshank's contribution to the industry. His family had been in transportation sales since before motorized cars! He was retiring and selling the dealership, it was the end of an era. I wanted to show the evolution of the vehicles, using the transition from the buggy in the unprotected outdoors to... “They [the Toronto Ford Dealers]...
“With Grand Touring I wanted to take the idea of the reflections one step further. In showing the under carriage I hope to give credit to all those car owners that spend so much time restoring and detailing the part of the car which is rarely ever seen. One of the greatest compliments I have received came at the All Ford Nationals. I met someone who had... “With Grand Touring I wanted to take...
“I was really impressed with the retro body styling of the Challenger when it was first released in 2008. Dodge really nailed it, right down to the available paint colors. Now, 7 years later, they've done it again, and even better. At 707 hp, the 2015 Hellcat is an impressive beast that's easy to like. Whenever I see an example of this modern muscle on... “I was really impressed with the...
"This painting began with the idea for a series called "Above Them All." Originally I wanted to feature cars that were somehow unique, special or historically significant. As I sketched out concepts, I realized I could incorporate the play on words and have the viewpoint taken from above. In this case, directly above the driver. While painting, I... "This painting began with the idea...
“The idea for Kings of the Road came to me after taking in the Shelby convention at Watkins Glen, New York. I was lucky enough to meet Carroll Shelby himself and see the Shelbys roaring around the track, that in itself was inspiration enough."- MICHAEL IRVINE “The idea for Kings of the Road came...
