9/02/2008. Oils and Acrylics on Canvas

This was my birthday present to my lovely boyfriend. Basically I wanted to paint him his 59' Ford Custom 300 as a pin-up, and here she is.

She is sitting in a puddle because the Tank leaks a lot of oil in the engine bay and there are flames because the Tank likes to be spiteful and catch fire when it's been cruised in too much (& neglected a bit). Like any old car the tank drinks a LOT of petrol hence the bowser. Her skin colour roughly portrays the fawn paint job and her green hair and corset correspond to the upholstry. The stars on her chest represent the floating star grille. Much to my dissapointment however, his particular '59 doesn't have flying 'V's like other Custom 300's do. I would have LOVED to paint some flying 'V's on her leg.

I still need to add the ford badge necklace, star decal from the spats on her ankles and touch up a bare spot but apart from that it's done. I'll update with a new (and better) photo when I've done so.
