It's not too early to start thinking about a gift for the favorite car enthusiast in your life -- even if that's yourself. Great cars are beautiful -- especially classic drives from the past. All bold, sculptured flashing chrome and graceful curves of metal -- subjects for fine art photography.
The online art marketplace DiscoveredArtists.com is offering a selection of automotive and motorcycle prints and originals, starting at under $100. Like the image shown here, called, simply, Blue Car. Well, to me it looks turquoise, which was a color popular in the 50s for Chevys and Fords, like the classic '55 Chevy Bel Aire this just might be a close-up of.
Automotive art typically falls into a few categories --
- So-called beauty shots that usually are very close-up, focusing on a single feature such as a beautiful hood ornament or such into a striking tight,
- Detailed fine art photographs that show every nuance of the car's design,
- Nostalgia artworks that set a mood or capture a feeling, such as the freedom of the open road before nagivation systems that speak,
Some of these art pieces are photos, either straightforward and some digitally enhanced. Others are paintings. All are interesting.
Take a look.
