Context

As with my warm-up exercise, my inspiration came from Clyfford Still's "1957-D No. 1." Still was an abstract-expressionist painter who, despite his lacking prominence relative to his contemporaries, would be one of the pioneer artists for the basis of the abstract movement. I've been a car fan since I learned how to talk, and going to the Steelers game and seeing them win provided the drive to do what I did for this. I decided to try to commemorate their victory in the form of a racing livery for a car.
