Commission Works: Past and Present - LE MANS

At the beginning of 2017 a private client of mine the lives in San Francisco approached me about producing 2 very different paintings for him. He had a very specific and detailed idea for each painting. He wanted to incorporate two very iconic figures with two very iconic painting styles. 

For the first piece (LE MANS) he wanted me to use a photo of the actor, Steve McQueen, while he was racing at Le Mans. He also wanted me to use the iconic Goyard style for the background. He was very specific in those two areas but after that he let me do my thing. 

Finished Piece.         "LE MANS"

I applied an apoxy ressin to the finished piece to really bring it together.
