<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 3022703, member: 84&quot;]I saw this painting? Pen &amp; ink? artwork of a race car speeding away around the bend of a curve in what I thought was a shadow box frame until I looked at the back &amp; saw directions for the batteries for a clock!</p><p><br /></p><p>I looked at the artwork again &amp; didn&#039;t see any hole for the hands/motor and when I googled the artist&#039;s name I figured someone had used the frame/box to protect it - because it looks like an original pen &amp; ink (my guess because it&#039;s signed in pencil) by renown automotive artist George Bartell!</p><p><br /></p><p>So I took the back off when I got home &amp; lo and behold there was a sunset print with a hole for the clock&#039;s hands being used as a backing for the art!</p><p>A couple of questions - is this a pen &amp; ink or a watercolor? - If you look at the photos near the end you can see that Bartell(?) mounted a piece of paper on a art board and then painted(?) the scene; because at 1 side it is loose &amp; when you pick it up you can see some of the paint(?) is still/also on the edge of the board.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what is it made of; pen &amp; ink or paint?</p><p>And - does anyone know what kind of car that is?!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you!</p><p>PS - has to be one of my coolest finds in a while!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]289909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289914[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]289915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289919[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289920[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
