Red Vespa.....

I was asked to paint more Vespas. This is a 70's vintage cutie.

Artistic License

Versus a motorcycle license that is. My pal Mark asked for another painting of a motorcycle he owns. He specifically wanted the stone mountain in the background but not the pedestrian sign. He left everything else up to me.

Although he wanted it on the same square format as his first painting, I could not do it justice so I painted on a portrait format. I moved the bike over to the left a little and had to make up some parts of the painting that I didn't see or were in the way. We'll see what he thinks of it when he gets back from his road trip from Texas to Arkansas.

I felt very honored when a former co-worker of mine asked me to paint his "baby". He had seen my Vespa painting and thought it would be cool to have that style depict his motorcycle which he loves to ride all over the country.

He was a motorcycle cop when he was in traffic and this is probably a lot more comfortable and easier to maneuver than the loaded down Harley he rode.
