Title: Red Ruby
Artist: SkyzEye (Schuyler Ferris)
Year: 2026
Medium: Oil over an acrylic underpainting on cradled ACM panel
Dimensions: 30 × 40 × 1.5 inches
Subject: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
Location: Downtown Abilene, Texas
Artwork type: Original, one-of-one painting
Signature: Signed by the artist, lower right
Ruby captures a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air glowing in the last light of a summer evening in downtown Abilene, Texas. Viewed from a dramatic low angle, the car’s sculpted fins, chrome details, and deep red finish command the composition while the historic Lone Star Dry Goods building rises behind it.
The painting was developed from Schuyler Ferris’s original photography of the car at sunset. Warm light moves across the pavement and reflective chrome, contrasting against the lavender-blue evening sky. Telephone poles and power lines recede through the alley, creating a strong sense of movement, place, and perspective.
More than a portrait of a classic automobile, Red Ruby is about the character that objects and locations acquire over time. The polished Bel Air, weathered downtown architecture, painted signs, shadows, and utility lines come together as a distinctly West Texas scene—part memory, part motion, and part American history.
Presented on a substantial 1.5-inch cradled panel. Framing is optional and may be arranged separately.
