Mach 5
6x6 Oil on panel, black floater frame.
The Mach 5 was my husband's first car crush. He tells me that as a kid, he used to know the function for every single button on the steering wheel. I don't remember watching "Speed Racer" with that much attention, though it did make me want a chimp for a pet.
I switched my palette up a little for this painting (and for the Batmobile). I swapped out my usual burnt umber to the more neutral and earthy raw umber. Mainly because my husband is a raw umber kind of guy, and as it turns out, this is his favorite painting from my 25 Days of Minis.

Batmobile
6x6 Oil on panel, black floater frame.
This painting is of the Batmobile from the original 1966 TV series. (I think I saw every re-run of this show as a kid.) To my mind, this Batmobile is the best Batmobile. I’ll have none of your tank-like, spaceship-looking nonsense from later Batman films. Just give me the original groovy Batmobile from the 60’s designed by the guy who also brought us, the Munsters’ coach, and the classic Beverly Hillbillies’ hooptie. I like my Batmobiles, like I like my TV shows. Campy.
Who was the best batman: Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, or Adam West? Trick question. The answer is always Adam West.
