This grid layout is the original layout I wanted for “Jam” – the first of my toy-themed car paintings completed a few years ago – but, I opted for more of an angled format after reviewing the reference photos. The idea of doing an overhead grid stayed with me, and I decided to try again once I picked up a number of toy cars that had fun, cheesy, junk food consumer-culture sponsors. Love the Hellmann’s Mayo car. Hid the kids’ and Stacey’s names in the painting.
