1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS on HWY 1, Pebble Beach

"Few roads in the world are as legendary as Highway 1. This painting is about more than just the drive—it’s about the feeling of wind rushing past, the scent of salt in the air, and the way the light dances on the ocean as you hug every curve of the coastline." – Topher Straus

 

yellow 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS speeds along California’s Highway 1, hugging the cliffs of Pebble Beach as the Pacific Ocean stretches infinitely beyond. The sweeping composition captures the rhythmic dance between land and sea—crashing waves, rugged cliffs, and the sculptural elegance of a windswept Monterey cypress tree framing the horizon. The Porsche, a symbol of pure driving pleasure, gleams under the golden light, its vibrant yellow body a beacon of motion against the cool blues of the sky and ocean.

 

Carscapes by Topher Straus is a celebration of design, adventure, and place. With a painter’s eye for detail and a filmmaker’s sense of composition, each piece transforms automotive history into a timeless, modern masterpiece. These are not just paintings of cars—they are windows into a world of possibility, passion, and the pure joy of the drive.

Details

 “A large part of my art is the first step, the actual journey; experiencing nature in person and observing it. Whether it’s the delicate eyelashes of an elephant up-close, or the continually changing hues of the world around me, I’ve learned that all the parts create the whole. The adventure itself helps shape my interpretation." - Topher Straus


THE PROCESS


Having selected an image that speaks to his soul, Straus puts on his Apple Vision Pro  goggles. “When I make my paintings,” he says with his ever-boyish enthusiasm, “I live inside them.” Fully immersed in an image, he then gradually, joyously transforms it using his own suite of digital painting tools, shaping and coloring it to express the scene’s very essence as he himself literally sees it.”


Next, he deploys the high-tech process of “sublimation,” transfusing his painting into an imperishable, glossy polymer coating on durable aluminum-alloy sheet, then coating it with a glossy resin finish. The resulting luminous images — created in a range of sizes and in strictly limited editions — enable light to reflect off the metal, endowing each finished painting with extraordinarily vibrant richness. The high gloss finish allows the viewer to literally visualize themselves in the painting.


THE FRAME


The painting is bonded to a black 1.375" thick edge mounted frame. The result is sleek and modern, and allows for easy hanging on your wall with the pre-installed professional art hanging wire. For a more secure and low profile hang, use the included bonus secure mounting system.  See "Hanging Instructions" for more details.


What Topher's Collectors Say:

amazing and uniquely identifiable

"Topher's work is nothing but amazing and uniquely identifiable. He has an uncanny ability to combine the beauty of the natural landscape into a digital format, the juxtaposition is breathtaking and simultaneously comfortable. The color palette is striking, creating a fantasy world from the picturesque backdrops we all know and love. How lucky we are to have captured his work for our home!"

  • JP & Rachel Brewer

this is a must see experience

"Garden of the Gods. The colors are bold and vibrant, much like the artist who layers his love of life into every work of art. And in the reflection you can see off the shiny bright surface, you, too, are a part of the art. This is a must see experience for anyone who has witnessed the magic of our great outdoors."

  • Denny Thompson

We ended up with two!

" We were drawn to Topher's work because of the unique and modern approach that he takes to creating landscapes. Nature and technology are both important parts of our life, so we connected with the way that he blends landscape photography and digital painting. While the artwork is beautiful online, it becomes even more vibrant when you see it in person printed on aluminum with a glossy finish. In fact, we had such a hard time deciding which piece we liked best that we ended up with two! "
