Hellcat at the Pitti ~ Original Charcoal Drawing from Florence, Italy
Italians are well-known for their love of motorcycles and racing. However, I was not much exposed to this part of life until I met a fan of both while in Italy. And while I cannot even remotely claim to be an expert, I must say that I have learned how beautiful the lines are on a Confederate Hellcat motorcycle!
The owner of this American-made bike was in a transition period of his life. He had gone through a divorce and moved out of his home country to start anew. He told me that he had lost weight and felt better at his current middle age than he had when he was younger.
He wanted to model for me with his cherished motorcycle in a way that made him FEEL good about himself, as well as show off the enticing curves of the Confederate Hellcat. And why not? Usually products are showcased with a curvy woman, so would not equal rights dictate that a male figure can also bring appeal to something such as an "exotic limited edition, high-performance motorcycle"?
During one of my stays in Florence, I lived not far from the Pitti Palace. Late one night while I was walking home, I stopped to admire how the light was hitting a stone arch in front of the palace and shortly afterwards with other inspirations available, an idea started to form ...
Framed in classic black wood, with acid-free mat, and Museum Glass [for almost NO reflection], the original charcoal drawing titled Hellcat at the Pitti ships from Norfolk, Virginia.
