"Pinnacle Papaya" (McLaren F1, 40"x60"x1.5" acrylic on canvas
Each year, I try to give back to organizations that are making a difference in the lives of those in need. I'm especially drawn to organizations that help children, those that are recovering from abuse, and animals.
Earlier this year, Gentleman Racer (in collaboration with McLaren) reached out to me about working with them to assist their chosen 2025 charity organization, OnRamp. This charity helps those that are getting back on their feet to purchase a car. They assist people to get back to the path of self-sufficiency. I love that.
As the upcoming event, Wheels, Watches, and Whiskey, would feature incredible McLarens, I wanted to create a one-of-a-kind painting that gave a nod to the F1.
This painting is my tribute to such an automotive marvel.
This painting is valued at $15,000, but I wanted to open the silent auction much lower (starting at $9500) in hopes that collectors will consider purchasing for this charitible cause.
The painting is 40"x60"x1.5", cotton canvas with 3 layers of UV/UVA varnish. Signed on the back and includes a Letter of Authenticity. If you are within 100 miles of Austin, TX, I will personally deliver the painting to the high bidder. If you are outside this area, we can arrange fine art shipping to you for an additional fee.
Please consider bidding on this painting. If you know of a McLaren lover, share this
auction. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this painting and worthy charity auction. Feel free to reach out to OnRamp Founder/President, Blake Jennings, at blakej@onramptx.org
or myself with any questions regarding purchasing options and shipping. Note: 8.25% sales tax added for Texas residents.
Thank you to Michael with Gentleman Racer, McLaren, and OnRamp for this opportunity to give back to others in our community.
