The bay at Patong Beach in Phuket, Thailand may well be one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The intersection of Thawewong Rd (the beach road) and Thanon Banga features an improbable yet remarkable and audacious welcome sign that I just couldn’t resist. Thanon Banga is a one way street that is closed off to traffic at night and that’s a good thing because there isn't anywhere in the world that has more bars and nightclubs per foot than this party street. Features a McLaren 720S.

The iconic Eiffel Tower is located on the Champ de Mars in the 7th Arrondissement of Paris France. Jay Koka was in Paris early in February of 2018 exhibiting at the RetroMobile show as a member the European ArtistAuto group. The RetroMobile show is a short tram ride from Champs de Mars. The Avenue de la Bourdonnais and the Rue de l’Universite intersection is featured. A Ferrari 275GTB/4 rounds the corner.

48”w x 32”
You can’t see the Taj Mahal even once inside the main entry gates of the 42 acre grounds. You approach
along a lengthy corridor of red sandstone buildings culminating in a ninety degree right turn to
face the wonderful Darwaza Gate. As you approach the building, you see the spot at which the
“Taj” will appear... the incomparable Taj Mahal... every step is a brilliantly designed and executed drama. The “Star of India” is now back in India in the hands of Maharaja Mandhatasinh Jadeja, grandson
of the Maharaja of Rajkot, the original commissioner of the magnificent
1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II. A very large and exceptionally well detailed major work.

"Friday Night on Ocean - Later"
Title: "Friday Night on Ocean - Later"
by Jay Koka, © 2017
60”w x 36”, acrylic on canvas
"Friday Night on Ocean - Later" is some minutes after "Friday Night on Ocean" on the same Carmel, California, Ocean Avenue corner. There are no street lights so all of the street illumination comes from the light spilling out of the stores and from the cars themselves. The Aventadore's chrome yellow has been warmed and softened by the mainly yellow light from the store. That's a '66 Corvette convertible about to make the turn... added because of the red light cast by its brake lights.

The 2018 Annual Meet of the Ferrari Club of America at Corning New York (and Watkins Glen) celebrates the Daytona. The 365 GTB/4 Daytona remains an iconic Ferrari. Many mark it as the end of the Enzo era and the last of the classic front-engine GT Ferraris. The Hawkes Glass Building was home to T.G. Hawkes & Co.’s eighty-two years in the cut glass business.

The Drift No 4 continues a series of paintings
started in 2000. Its predecessors have featured a
Jaguar XKD, a Porsche Carrera GT (2008) and a Porsche 918 (2016). The Miura has stood the test of time well and is a
testament to the Bertone and Lamborghini folks that were responsible for its creation. This is the poster/event art for the 2018 Cobble Beach Concours d'Elegance in Ontario, Canada.
