James Etheridge is an accomplished artist with a completely unique and original style. He has blended his lifelong love of classic automobiles and art to create truly dynamic paintings that bring out the beauty, power and mystique of these incredible machines of a bygone era.
These are not photographs enhanced with filters or effects. These stunningly beautiful paintings are unique in that they are created using a digital airbrush technique which James developed and perfected. “I like to select an area that best shows the character and personality of the car, says James.” “It works much better visually and artistically than trying to capture the entire vehicle.”
His work has been juried into many art shows and galleries in the north Georgia and Atlanta metro areas. He is a lifelong Atlanta resident.
I love cars. All makes and models, shapes and sizes, but especially the classics. I see the flowing lines and curves of a well designed automobile blending into a beautiful, dynamic and seductive work of art.
In my Automotive Portraits, I strive to make each car perfect; shiny and new, sleek and tight, in a place and time gone by. Through these portraits, my mission is to evoke memories and feelings which take the viewer back to that place and time once again.” James Etheridge
