Watercolor of a 1960's Chevy Impala

Anybody who knows me knows I like old cars. I took a photo of this junked 1967 Chevy Impala back in the 70′s on a downtown Chicago street. Later on in the 1980′s, I used that photo as a foundation drawing/sketch for this watercolor study, done as an assignment for my watercolor class at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. My instructor, Irving Shapiro, a well-known American watercolorist, asked if he could use it as an example in one of his painting books. So, this is a published work of art!

If anybody out there has a copy of the book that this image is in, I’d love to know, and maybe buy it from you!
