I'm trying to track down any information I can on the artist/value of this painting.
I contacted Mercedes-Benz USA and they were unable to assist me.
"This is indeed a beautiful representation of our Gullwing model. However, we regret to inform you that we were unable to find any information regarding this piece or it's creator, D.R. Swanson. Nonetheless, we appreciate your interest and wish you luck on your search."
Any search engine results tend to come up with "Doctor Swanson".

Information: Artist signature says D R Swanson
Board size is 40" x 29"
Medium appears to be a mix of acrylic or oil and watercolor but I could be wrong.

Photos:
Camera picked up a bit more red in the other parts of the painting due to the brightness of the red the car is painted.
