Wayne Rainey Painting

I recently finished this one, Wayne Rainey acrylic on 9"x12" gesso board. Schwantz is next

 

Epic!

I guess that must have been from when he was still a novice. Yellow plates and all...

 

There's a cool Rainey painting at The Keg in old Montreal. I'll take a pic next time I'm there.

 

Well done!!!!

BTW, that is one of my favorite Shoei's (still have mine)!

 

Very nice! Great work!

 

Look at that shitty body position, how did he even make it around the race track?


Great work on the painting!!

 

Not trying to be a dick, but why do you paint them so small? 9x12 is like a sheet of notebook paper?

 

9 foot x 12 foot.

 

" references inches....

 

Usually in the lead.

Very nice painting.

 

It would one bad ass garage door!!

 

Thanks guys!

Yes its 9x12 inches. I do paint in larger sizes as well, the latest Rossi painting I made was 24"x36". Basically I am using these smaller paintings for experimenting new things and its much easier (less frustrating) to work in a smaller scale. For example, this painting was the first I have done on gesso board, and also I started with a very different background using a palette knife, which I decided to completely scrap. The previous Simoncelli painting was the first painting I had done on a smoothly sanded canvas panel, and the first time I used an airbrush. I can also finish these in around 2-3 days vs 2-3 weeks on a larger scale. I'll get back to painting on a larger scale shortly.
