Dana Forrester Corvette Print “The Predator” – C6 Z06 Black
To create “The Predator,” I searched Corvette shows for months to find a black C6 Z06 with just the correct lighting. My intent was to show the highly reflective upper panels of the Corvette by reflecting the blue of the sky. The wall behind the Z06 was based on a very faded sign in Dallas advertising a defunct railroad named the Texas and Pacific. Their slogan “23 hours to St. Louis” made me think of the of St. Louis Corvette Plant. This Corvette certainly wouldn’t take 23 hours to reach St. Louis.
Size 11 X 17 Can be ordered in larger sizes as well.
Dana Forrester began painting his brick wall series in the mid-seventies and won many Regional and National Awards for his focus on weathered and layered advertising signs painted on brick walls. It was truly a unique and direct look at the world, often showing the viewer a subject he had not noticed before. Dana was elected as a Signature Member of the American Watercolor Society and of the National Watercolor Society in the early eighties, then began painting full time in 1987. His world changed a year later when he bought his first Sting Ray Corvette, the car which brought about a change in the subject of his art. He has continued to explore the theme of brick buildings and advertising art while using the collector automobile as a major element of his work. Dana creates about ten to twelve major works a year for publication as well as a number of commissioned watercolors for collectors wanting an original painting of a subject special to them. His paintings are included in many private, corporate, and museum collections worldwide. Currently he owns three significant Corvettes and has plans for more, a fact that separates Dana from other automotive artists.
