This is great, Todd! So moody!
There was a similar old car in the "toybox" at my grandparents home that I used to love to play with. This painting sure evokes those memories for me.

Mood in spades! Love the red too...is this the new Painteur Noir? or Rouge? Maybe next version shadows through the blinds? lol... way cool..

Don and Candy,

Glad the piece is evoking memories for you Don, that pleases me for some reason. I think I was drawn to this car for nostalgic reasons as well.

Thanks Candy..your comments made me laugh and think about for a sec..there is definitely a Noir quality to it, not only in the dramatic moody lighting but the lines on that car seem to be right from that genre..hmmmmm
Thank to you both.

I love this one. especially the metal peeking out from under the chipped paint.

Todd Bonita said...

Thanks Austin, to me, thats where a lot of the love was with this car. The chipped paint revealed the long road this toy car traveled. I thought it gave it character.
I hope you are well.
best,
Todd

Hi Todd,
this looks absolutely fabulous and my imagination tells me this is the prop of an old horror film by Steven King - lol. It looks wonderfully creepy and one expects something luring behind in the darkness. It is very narrative!!
Greetings, Petra

Hey Petra, so great to see your name in my in box again, I hope you are well. Sincerely. Thanks for your comments...Stephen King! There is no higher compliment! Now I'm laughing out loud. To tell you the truth, I was going for a dark and mysterious feel...Wonderfully creepy is much cooler though..you've made my day today, thanks again.

All the best Petra.

Not at all surprised to see a SOLD on this one, so much character in a little painting - a very special painting for the lucky collector.
