Acrylic on gessoed hardboard, 20109 x 12'', #184
The Atlantic Nationals is an annual car show held in Moncton during the month of July. This Chevy truck was parked under a bright sun with puffy clouds underneath a tall leafy tree. This explains all of the unusual and freaky stuff happening on the bright red paint surface. It's quite evident that this pick-up has a proud owner and it's condition is immaculate, even sporting some amazing mag wheels. It's all eye candy to me and becomes an irresistible subject matter to paint.
As I was doing the pencil drawing, it occured to me to personalized the New Brunswick licence plate. Instead of signing the painting as I usually do, the new plate now reveals the info for the painting.
AVR- are my initials (Alvin Victor Richard),
184- corresponds to the painting's catalogue number,
08/2010- month it was mostly painted in.
This is the third of three paintings to be part of the invitational group show ''The Still Life'' to be held at the Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento California from October 2 to November 5, 2010. To inquire about acquiring this piece, please contact The Elliott Fouts Gallery at this link .

Dear Alvin,
Breathtakingly beautiful!!!!
Thank you for sharing the work.

In the back of my mind I've always wanted to do a painting like this, of a shiny automobile and with a similarly cropped composition. Great job!
This is spectacular. Your reds are beautiful, the reflections perfect and I really like how you personalized the license plate with your painting info.
I love this! So nicely done!!
Thanks everybody for the beautiful comments
Holy shit!
This is crazy good, Alvin!
Look at ALL of those tiny reflections throughout the car! I don't know how it's possible but you made it happen!
The reds are stunning too!
