Dana Forrester Corvette Print “Reflections Of A Century” – C6 100th Anniversary Grand Sport Carbon Flash
When Chevrolet celebrated its 100th Anniversary with a Centennial Special Edition Corvette, I just had to do a painting of one of them. All of those Corvettes are painted Carbon Flash Metallic, a beautiful high metallic black available for one year only on this edition. I chose the Grand Sport Coupe for my painting with the optional black wheels with red rims. I experimented with a different mixture of blues for the reflective portion of the sky onto the Carbon Flash Metallic, and I’m very pleased with it on this black car. I wanted to note the 100th Anniversary on a brick wall sign, so I created a wall for Club 100, a spot reminiscent of a place my wife Judy and I used to frequent in the early years of our marriage.
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.
