Featured: 1935 Auburn
Sleek, and imposing… I’ve been lucky to see one or two 1935 Auburn 851 Super-charged Speedster over the years. These iconic Art Deco cars are so sweet when seen “in the flesh”.
In this piece I strayed from the blue color scheme that I’ve been using lately. Rendering the Auburn in yellow allowed it to “pop” off of the background. But because there is a good amount of green (which contains yellow) in the environment, it still feels related to its surroundings. The violet in the lower left contrasts the yellow to provide a bit of vibrancy to the composition.
Fragmenting the car (in perspective) adds movement and energy, while the curved typography gives the piece a bit of whimsy.
