Practice 3 Afternoon

I spent all of Practice 3 doing a photo & video shoot with Purdue. I painted this during a time lapse and their battery was dying before cars came out. I decided to just paint a car in from memory and the only one I painted recently was Palou’s from the GP. I painted it both in practice 1 and since he won. I knew the car well so I painted it in. When I did this, I didn’t even realize they had changed his livery for the Indy 500. lol. So this scene is actually impossible. What is wild is there are thousands of photos that exist of this one being made but the only one I took was of Doug Boles father pretending to paint on it. This painting is currently featured on Purdue’s website.
