Digital Art prints are also available for fine art pieces that are not of an automotive nature.

Contact-Rick Herron 703-569-0166 or ClassicAutoPicks@aol.com for prints, giclees or acrylic commissions, dealer inquiries also.

I have always considered automotive art as fine art and that automotive artists for the most part are capable in producing works in a variety of themes and styles. It just so happens that most have had a passion for automobiles and therefore prefer to depict them over other subjects as the emphasis of the artwork. Many of these artists can also do a fine job with any subject or style. Having grown up with an appreciation of both classical and modern art I have decided to choose other subject matter and to work again in the new digital medium though I have done some pieces in acrylic and oils.In future I will be doing more acrylic paintings.

Automotive artists that I have known have had art training and even the graphic designers in the bunch have had to take the foundation courses which require an understanding of color theory, perspective, modeling and the handling of brushes and usage of different media. This also translates into the realm of computer graphics though the colors are additive and produce white light when added together rather than subtractive as in printing when added colors create black.

Soon I hope to be adding artwork that will appeal to those who not only enjoy automotive art but modern and maybe some realism pieces as well. I hope to include impressionism and abstract art but with a new and fresh approach. I believe that art is not worth doing if the artist is not creating something new and exciting or at least unique and pleasing.
