This is a shot I've been wanting to get for a while. This Santa used to sit on top of the Candy Shoppe at Santa's Lane near Summerland, CA. It was removed a couple of years ago and now sits by the freeway in Oxnard.

Very Nice Peter. Maybe you need a white Berlina to complete the patriotic theme.
Looking forward to meeting them and you in person, as soon as my baby is out of the shop and I can make a road trip to the Hill Country.

Thanks Bill! The GTV is actually black, but who knows what color it'll be after the much needed restoration....it was AR501 red originally I probably need to start this first before I even consider adding a sedan.....A Berlina would be great, I love these cars, but I have really always wanted a Giulia.....for some reason white is not my color though....Whatever the final color trio would be, I'm sure it's patriotic to some country in the world 
I hope you get your nose job done soon! Let me know whenever you're up here, maybe we can meet!!

Wonderful art work. What media was used, Guache, Oil, Water color and on what kind of canvas? Very nice style. It takes great talent to make it look so effortless. I am in awe!

Thanks Spiderwebb, its mixed media on canvas. it started life as a canvas acrylic that was later digitized and manipulated in painter. I then printed it on Platinum dot canvas, stretched and reapplied acrylic with a knife. It was my first attempt @ mixing conventional media with digital. I'm pretty happy with the results. Some areas are definitely digital and some have 1/8 inch of thick acrylic paint. Some area are controlled while other areas are just "pushing paint around"
here's a quick vague workflow documentation
