The most beautiful thing i have ever seen .

Yes when i first laid eyes on my Christmas present i had  tear's in my eyes ............... yes thats right i got a PINK CORVETTE stingray. Its in absolute mint condition and its truly vintage its about 40 years old .!!!!!!!! When i was a little girl about 7 i got barbies pink corvette toy and was just as excited but lets face it nothing can compare to the real thing. My puppy "Hollywood" is loving the new car and had to get her photo taken with it .

Now just imagine the artistic inspiration i am going to get with this car . No more random cars in my street scean city scapes but a barbie pink corvette .............ohhhhhhhhhhh and hell yes she will be featured in the  "ALICE" series. I am very well know for painting cars and now i guess there will be lots more !!!!!!! I cant wait to paint her on canvas . So inspiring is this piece of american heavy metal at its finest . It also is the only one like it in the country . Its epic .

Now i guess your wondering where this love of cars comes from ?. No its not a midlife crisis thing but really a childhood thing . I have brothers who were really into cars and a dad who restored them lovingly in his garage on weekends with them. I always felt a bit left as i was a girl and had to help mum in the kitchen :(. My brothers all grew up and mostly lost interest when there families and babies arrived. My interest arrived artistically as i wanted to paint cars mainly formula one cars . when i like something i like it forever its never a faze . Might be because of my artistic nature maybe that makes me a little obsessive .

Then lets not discount my love of the 80's and that song "little red Corvette" because we all love prince more than life itself . And my love of all things pink and barbie . OK and oddly i was a massive fan of "the knight rider " ok so its was a trans am but that made me love the bigger cars . So what happens when i combine all of these elements in a blender . You get the pink corvette and its the most in love i have ever been with an innate object . Its the most beautiful thing i have ever seen .X

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and its fast and furious .

  1. Nice car.
    My wife's uncle had been telling everyone who would listen that he wanted a Porsche for Christmas,so they bought him a $20 model for his desk.-)
    I think he would be envious to see yours,but I don't think it's quite the colour he had in mind.
    Can't wait to see your paintings featuring the pink hot rod.

    1. All for creative visualisation: Porsche on the desk could be the start!

  3. I don't know why I wrote Porsche when it should have been a Corvette Stingray my wife's uncle kept saying he wanted.
    It was a model Corvette he got,not a Porsche.
    I don't know where I pulled the Porsche from?
    Maybe it was the thought of Pink and Poodle that led me to Porsche?
