I am presently engaged in an artistic endeavour that comprises three oil pastel paintings showcasing a beautiful green 1956 Mercury Montclair car. Each painting is a crucial element of a photo shoot also featuring a blonde-haired lady adorned in genuine 1950s attire, and the driver of the 1956 Mercury.
This painting focuses on the female driver, as she casually dangles her legs out of the car window, displaying her green high-heels. As someone who grew up in the 80s, the mint green high heels brought back fond memories of a similar pair I cherished. The open arch symbolizes a journey, sparking the imagination to ponder what lies beyond.

I rely on the superior quality of Sennelier and Caran d'Ache pastels for my oil pastel paintings. These pastels are opaque, which allows me to make corrections and add more colour if needed, resulting in exceptional performance. I used Clairfontaine Pastelmat to create each portrait. Pastelmat has an organic surface and offers excellent control, allowing for effortless, precision blending of pigments.
This portrait is available individually or as a complete set. It will be shipped without a frame, but rest assured that it will be well-packaged to prevent any damage or dirt. I highly recommend taking it to a trusted framer for secure mounting and framing. Every painting will also include a certificate of authenticity and aftercare instructions.
