Formula One Artwork Question

[GRAVETT]

hi everyone, im a career motorsport artist and was wondering what people would prefer to see a painting of.or you can post photos that you would like to see recreated as a painting. i am looking to do a new one for a uk motorsport store with the view of creating a print run.
whoever sends the the best picture i shall produce the work from that and they shall recieve a signed print also.

You need the permission of the photographer before you turned their art into your own, so people should only post images for this if they own the copyright...

i thought this would be an answer if you read carefully the letter of the law copyright only applies to the actual photographic image and to a reproduction of the image as a drawing/painting. i strive to always still ask the permission of the photographer (if im working from images not created by myself) when producing images from others photos but the copyright laws do not apply.

Is thi formula one only or motorsport in general?

I really love the contrast in this image:
