See The Latest from MCACN Official Sponsor,
Artist Michael Irvine
We are truly honored to have some of the absolute best of the best
from the automotive art world joining us at the Muscle Car and Corvette
Nationals show. A few weeks ago we introduced you to our 2016
Official Featured Artist,
Branden Hochstetler. This week we
want to share the latest from
Michael Irvine, who joins
us from St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada. Michael has several new offerings
that are right on target for the MCACN 2016 show. With our
Cars of Carroll Shelby Invitational
display as a big feature this year, Michael’s latest painting,
“Snakin’ Through The Snow” is sure to be a hit. This is his
latest Shelby Mustang painting, which features the 2008 Shelby GT500KR and
it’s classic predecessor, the 1968 Shelby GT500KR, and it is the third
installment in Michael’s ‘Now and Then’ series. “Ford has
definitely kept the muscle car alive with its continuous production of the
Mustang”, says Michael, “And what better cars to hug the curves
and handle the slippery slopes than the ‘kings of the road’, the classic
and modern Shelby GT500KR.” The original watercolor painting
pays tribute to two of Ford Motor Company’s high performance Shelby
Cobras. 2008 marked the 40th Anniversary of Ford Motor Company’s
original King of the Road and in celebration, the 540 hp retro designed
Shelby GT500KR was released. Michael chose to feature these cars handling
the dangerous curves of a still ice-covered road, each one’s reflection
its ‘other generation’ counterpart.
And
if you are a Mopar enthusiast, Michael is excited to announce
the release of “Right
On Spaulding!” A long time coming, this incredible high impact painting
pays tribute to a Mopar icon in Michael’s captivating “story in the
reflection” style. “I’d been thinking about a Grand
Spaulding Dodge painting
for a while, but really wanted to do something unique. Meeting Mr.
Norm last
year, ultimately was the catalyst that got me going ahead with it”,
says Michael.
This original watercolor painting features the 1970 Plum Crazy Dodge Super
Bee as it turns “right on Spaulding” Avenue. (Coincidently, since
Spaulding is a one way, there is only one way to travel on it … the right
way!) In the reflection, you’ll discover the busy dealership, Norm’s mini
Charger, a ‘Cuda, a Six Pack car, the Charger 500 and Mr. Norm himself.
Of special interest to collectors, 300 of the 800 limited
edition prints have been cosigned by Mr. Norm and have a
Grand Spaulding Dodge logo printed Remarque, and you can
get yours at the show. Of course, Mr. Norm will be joining us with his own
big display of memorabilia and he will be at the show
Saturday and
Sunday.
Automotive art makes an excellent gift for your favorite car
enthusiast, and there is nothing better then purchasing directly from the
artist. Please plan on seeing the displays from
Michael and
Branden along
with
David Snyder,
Mary Watts-Yeadon and
Steven Macy and taking home something for
yourself and your favorite car nut.
