For some reason I missed this post up until now :? :? :? ,

That artwork is absolutely incredible, the likeness to a photo is just so close, but then there are parts that make you think its a painting,Your mind keeps going from..... it's a photo...............no it's a painting :? :? :? .

Never seen anything as good as that :D :D :D

Well done Alistair 8) 8) 8)

I have never sold before. Ironically I did two for friends in Melbourne, of &*#@ Falcon GT's as gifts. My Dad took them over on one of his trips to OZ. He had hardly landed there when I got phonecalls from two happy guys.
I have thought of the idea of doing high quality digital prints and selling those as a possible way of supplimenting my income, to cover the costs of living.
Are you after something in particular.

A few years ago I did a few detailed photos of this old dog and contemplated painting it. Last year I got going on it , but wow it took time to do. Every square inch needs to be studied before even picking up the brush. So many, many hours , late at night or early in the morning and it was finally 'polished' to a stage where I was happy. Now its framed and on the wall. Hope you enjoy. Alastair

You have an amazing talent Alastair 8) 8) 8) 8)
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I'm no artist, but I imagine trying to paint realistic chrome would be a huge challange.
That looks absolutely stunning Alastair, amazing.

Thanks guys.
You know it was such a sharp image to work with. On the inside edge of the far front leg you can see where a casting ridge/bur was cleaned off with a grinder in the factory. (shows it has never been rechromed). Naturally those grind lines are in the painting too.
The dog reflects in the bonnet and the base of the mascot, And the green of the bonnet is on the underside of the dogs legs and ribs. And lots of blue sky and the sun reflecting everywhere else. When working on it you can usually work out what's reflecting where.
Hey Blacky, you still got the one I sent you?

Fantastic painting Al!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Painting anything that's chromed is a MAJOR pain!!
What has me is the actual size of your paintings..now I have an idea as to how you get so much detail into it..I gotta paint something BIG one day myself!
