"American Metal" (SOLD)
Original Dark Roast Watercolor™ painting:
Using Starbucks® French Roast Coffee
I love pushing myself to try new things. And metal and Chrome are one of those fun aspects of painting. I was scheduled for a private party and found out that the gentleman of the home appreciated Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. I used the opportunity to begin the process of designing a painting focused on the incredible design of these pure American works of art. So a few days before the party I spent an hour or so, wandering around the sales lot of Orlando Harley-Davidson South, thanks to the great General Manager there, Will Swart.
The sun was bright and brilliantly reflecting off the chrome and disappearing into the shadows of the anodized black. I could not get over the seemingly limitless modifications that made almost every bike unique. A true testament to the American Spirit. Enjoy!
