There and back again to get groceries.

Chevy Cavalier Wagon
​​

I began this second piece after deciding to continue as a series based on the cars that have gotten me there and back again. I’ve been told that I both love and create art that tends towards the very detailed. Here I tried to only include detail in all the right places. I believe on all of these cars there are lines and curves and details that, if you owned one, will call out to you and remind you of more lively times.
​
This was my first car. It ignited my unyielding love of four-doors and hatchbacks. I’ve never owned a car with less than three doors and probably never will. All because of this beauty.  Her nickname was ‘Cee Elle' after the trim badge on her flank - ‘CL’ - which my friends and I imagined must stand for “Certainly Luxurious”. 

Fashioning these from raw vertices has given me a new appreciation of the design of the cars themselves. This old girl had chrome trim all over the place, whitewall tires and wheel covers evocative of a more elegant time when tires required beautiful spoked wheels. It was the end of an era of car design defined by metal and glass.

​

​This piece was wistfully re-imagined in Adobe Illustrator and is a good grocery-getter.
