The Artist - Melissa Farrell

Automotive Art by Melissa Farrell 

Ms. Farrell’s passion for the automobile and all it represents is reflected in her artwork.
 Each LIMITED EDITION PRINT is based on an ORIGINAL colored pencil drawing. The artist, being a classic car enthusiast, began the car series by drawing her Triumphs. Melissa has just finished a drawing featuring the Old English Sportscars (Jaguar, Healey, MG, Sunbeam, Morgan, and TR). The cars are always featured with appropriate backgrounds such as Buckingham Palace, Atop the Acropolis, or typical settings of the past such as drive-ins. In the coming months she is planning to expand her subjects to some of the American Muscle cars like the Corvette, Mustang, Camaro, and Firebird.

Research is underway in plans for prints of other classic and antique cars such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, Auburn, Ferrari, and Maserati. Being a proud owner of a ’91 BRG Miata, she has plans to draw the Miata and other popular convertibles like the Porsche Boxter, BMW Z, Honda, and Mercedes. She has recently finished a drawing featuring The Lakewood Yacht Club’s Wooden Keels and Classic Wheels show held each year the first weekend in May. This drawing depicts a Mercedes, Ford Woody, Jaguar, Corvette, Cadillac, and the Aerocar of the 50s. Wooden boats by Chris Craft are also featured this drawing.

You can commission this automobile enthusiast to create a handsome drawing of your vintage or classic wheels.  Request a special location for your fantasy drawing. Accomplished at figure drawing, this artist can even put you at the wheel! Ms. Farrell prefers to work from life, but can work from photographs when necessary.
