Luke’s Frame Shop upgraded one of my favorite paintings with a stellar frame. "The Spirit of America" - Acrylic on Canvas Panel, 2018
The Story: Craig Breedlove and his turbo-jet powered vehicle "The Spirit of America," broke land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in the 1960s. Craig was the first person in history to reach 500 miles per hour, and then 600 miles per hour.
The dog in this painting was a stray found by Craig and the "Spirit of America" crew. He had been abused and his ge****ls had been covered with spray paint. Craig and the crew adopted the dog and brought him back to health. And here you can see, the loyal pooch paid them back in kind. The first image is my painting, and the second image is the original picture taken back in the 1960s by land speed historian and my friend, Ron Christensen.
The original painting and prints are available through the link in my profile
