Miami Car Chase (1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Painting)

Here's My latest painting. It's a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass bobbing and weaving through traffic down Ocean Drive in Miami Beach circa 1976. I based this off of no movie in particular, but the piece itself was supposed to represent late 70s and early 80s car chase scenes in old actions films. This one is set in Miami, because this time period was a distinct era in Miami's history when it was teetering on its reputation as being a resort town, but also gaining a new reputation as the city with one of the largest crime rates in north america, which is why I felt this city that had a unique contrast would be ideal for this painting. The getaway is having a hard time shaking the cops, until one of the diligent pursuers collides with an oncoming vehicle. This is the diversion that the wheelman has been looking for. As the other cop is somewhat distracted by the mayhem that has just ensued, the getaway veers into Lummus Park hitting a whole bunch of plastic lawn flamingos in the process, hoping to find a new escape strategy. Does he get away, or does he get caught? you decide. Anyway, All Fast Lane Design Artwork by Ryan Sardachuk. Click the link to become a fan on facebook: www.facebook.com/FastLaneDesign
