I'm in search of a great MINI photo to use as a reference for my next painting.

What I need is a quintessential MINI image with a nice backdrop. I'm thinking either a nice architectural (Euro-ish?) background or maybe a nice curvy road. The MINI in motion may be great too. Posting here would be great but I will need a high res image emailed to me once I pick the "winner". Please only post your photos (ones that you have taken) as I do not want to get into a copyright issue later.

Since cash is tight, I can not pay for the image, but I will give the owner of the photo the original signed painting once it's been scanned for printing. The reprints may be used on clock faces, photo album covers, picture frames, etc.

Thank you!!

 

 

i dont think i can top chipG's, thats one gorgeous waterfall and one hot mini, but heres a couple of mine from a drive i took a while ago, i definitely need to get out there again and snap more pics. goodluck with inspiration for your painting! please post pics whenever you finish it

 

 

Just to show all of the photos I'm considering, here's another photo emailed to me...

Nice photos, folks. Keep 'em coming.

Very nice Broid. Also the sunset and waterfall pics above are great too.

What ever I choose, I'm sure will challenge my painting skills. I also trying to figure out what type of image would be most marketable. My last go at a large number of reproductions through Brookstone was a flop and I'm really hoping this one will be better.

 

I had hoped to wash my car and go out for a photo shoot this afternoon, the the rain ruined that idea.

Would you imagine that a picture of a MCS would be more popular than an standard MC?

 

did you decide which pic you're gunna use? if not, i'd like to send you some more pictures.

 

No I have not had the time to work on this project yet. My two other jobs have me running in circles right now. I'd love to have more choices.

 

 

 

I'm almost done with the R/C race car I'm working on now which means I'll be moving back to this project. So far I'm torn between ChipG's second pic (quarter view on twisty road) and itsminibtch's top pic (quarter view with fence).

 

awesome, let us know
