Description This painting of a 1941 Plymouth is of a car I saw at the Moon Eyes car show. I fell in love with this car as soon as I laid eyes on it. I was able to meet the owner, and asked if I could do a painting of his car. He was thrilled!Even though I didn't get a chance to ask him about the work involved in restoring this car, I'm sure he would have stories of hours spent hunting down the right parts. I know car enthusiasts spend anywhere from months to years restoring these cars.
Michelle LaRae, Mission Viejo Member Since March 2009 Artist Statement Considering all the demands that life puts on us, I strive to create peaceful, calming paintings — giving the viewer an opportunity to daydream. People often comment how much they would like to step into one of my paintings.
I balance light with shadows and combine soft hues and peaceful colors to produce a breathtaking effect. The viewer of my paintings is transported to another place.
