    Last Friday our company hosted an Art Show, inviting the Art Department to exhibit their personal work. Needless to say, I was there.!!

    The responce i received was overwhelming. The pieces that Thor (JavelinArt) and i have been working on created quite a stir. Several people around here have seen and/or know about my realist watercolours (one of those was there too, as well as a reduced computer-print of the 250GTO interior) so these were quite a departure from what they expected.
    They were the talk of the show! Those that were off on Friday, have been coming up to my desk to see if i have any photos, so they can see what the fuss is about... :)

    This was the first time i had them all displayed at once (running out of wall space at home :) ) and i must admit i was quite pleased with the result, myself.

    thought you'd all like to see...

    Thanks Thor!!!

    Do you have that black and white steering wheel painting/inking in a bigger size to post here? I'd love to see it. Your work is insane...as watercolors are very very challenging.

    Hey, Cool!

    I can run Giclee prints of any of Grant's paintings if anyone is interested, including the Black & White 250 GTO cockpit, if he can get me some very hi-res photos. Should we work on that?

    Grant, we need to get your P4 framed so it matches the rest. I'll see what I can come up with. It looks much better in the steel frame - I finally got mine framed for the art show I did Saturday. Our pieces were a big hit! Most people were stunned... They weren't expecting such innovative stuff at such a small event. Grin! The only down side was guys asking me if we did Pickup trucks.

    Thanks for the reply... "insane" eh? kinda like the sound of that... :)

    The original GTO Interior was rather large.. 40" wide! Kind of gave it a "Pop Art" quality, since, at that size, it was larger than life. It was sold to a fellow-FChatter a few months ago...
    The 250 California on my site is done the same size, ink on foam core.

    Congratulations, on the show Grant.
    Wonderful work, as usual. You can employ such a wide variety of mediums and effects.
    Keep us posted on future shows!!

    Thank you Frank... the show was fun, as was the wonderful feedback.
    Shows and galleries are things that i am putting ALOT more energy into, a one-man show of my F-car (and other marques) work would be a dream... and with some contacts i have made here at home recently... a dream that may come true.

    my fingers are crossed...
