Automotive Paintings: Which is your favorite era? Which is your favorite Porsche
Hi guys,
I've talked to our host and got the green light to show you some of my paintings and conduct a quick poll. I'm an automotive painter (you may have seen my work on the latest PML cover) and I'm getting ready for a couple of exhibits/car shows this summer. I hope you will indulge me in some feedback in regards to your favorite Porsche racing cars. I concentrate mainly on racing cars from the 1950s to 1970s. I'm posting a couple of paintings, one from each decade and would love to know where you preference lies. This will help me somewhat in determining what kind of paintings to show in my upcoming exhibits/car shows. Thank You so much for taking part. With best regards, Nicolas Hunziker Oh... if you wish to see more of my paintings simply visit my painting site http://nicolashunziker.com If you wish to purchase any of them or would like to discuss a commission for a painting a mural (like your garage, house, museum) please don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers, n. Do you prefer the 50s?  The 60s?  The 70s?  Or is it more about the drivers?

For me, no car evokes as much emotion as the 917.

Favourite period? The one that never existed, the one that's evoked by the image of a time when things were easy.
 Favourite Porsche racer, outlaw 356, 356 speedster, 2.8 rsr.

Interesting question. I never thought about it before. I have a fair amount of automotive art in my library. As I look around I see the following....
- Print of Ferrari F1 cars from 1948 to 1991 - Randy Owens "Ferrari/Ferrari" print of Mansell & Prost side-by-side in Ferrari F1 cars, circa 1990 - A Jay Koka poster from the Meadowbrook Historic Races showing Fangio in an Alfa F1 car - 911 "Blueprint" poster, showing Porsche Carreras from 1974 to 1991 - A Bill Neale print showing Carroll Shelby winning a 1960 race at Riverside (his last victory as a driver) in a "Birdcage" Maserati (signed by Shelby) - A Nicholas Watts print of Rene Dreyfus winning the 1930 Monaco GP in a Type 35 Bugatti (signed by Dreyfus) - A Nicholas Watts print of Gijis van Lennep winning the 1973 (& final) Targa Florio in a Porsche 911 Carrera RS (signed by van Lennep) - A Carol Fairchild print showing Gilles Villenueve in a lurid slide in a 1981 Ferrari F1 car I also have some photos of my 1988 911 on the track, Fangio (1 photo shows him in an amazing slide/drift), Moss, Ascari, a photo of a Corvette Grand Sport taken at the Monterey Historics, etc. I have more art in the basement, from many eras. And my next purchase will likely be another Watts print of Elford winning the Targa. I guess I like all of the eras. And I think it is about both the cars & the drivers. So, I am not much help to you at all. Sorry. I really like your work, by the way. But, unfortunately my budget is "print", not "original".

no offense, but I like the limey cars in the Monet(or is it Manet)theme More like something I would have...
Always been a sucker for 550 spyders, that is more like something I would have than a 917, or more likely a 908 Bergspyder, if I was going race car
