"I always thought records were meant to be Broken" (Ferrari F2004)

"I always thought records were meant to be Broken" (Ferrari F2004)
40"X48"X1.5", acrylic on canvas. Created in 2024.
My husband and I photographed this gorgeous lady in 2018 when we took a trip to Maranello, Italy to visit Ferrari. It was such a treat to see this amazing vehicle that Michael Schumacher drove throughout the Formula One season. I took a few liberties with the background as my muse was in a museum. I wanted to paint the background with my fingers/palms as I often do with abstract areas. This gives the viewer a place to rest their eyes to then come back to take in all the details of the car. Such a joy to create.
