Jay Koka: I started experimenting with a completely new color palette last year and this painting is a continuing refinement of this experimental approach. The magnificent 1931 Cord L-29 LaGrande Speedster is presented in one of Savannah’s historic squares. This is the 5th in a series of Savannah-based paintings. Sharp-eyed viewers will recoginize the square from the Savannah No1 painting. The contrast in painting style and color palette is quite dramatic."
