According to this Amazon page its The Vet by David Wendel

Features: Giclee on canvas 36 x 48 x 1.5 inch overall size Ready to Hang Wall Art Professionally mounted on a lightweight wooden frameGiclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original artwork. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Now you can experience all thevisual spendournbspof David Wendel's atmospheric artwork.

His dad was a salesman, so they moved often, settling to Georgia in 1969. He's lived there since then. Wendel married in 1979 settling down with his wife Kate, two sons, Drew and Tor, and their two dogs, Comet and Benny. "The American Car" portraits are dedicated to the classic fifties American automobile from the Big Three. American confidence, optimism and swagger have never been better expressed than in their flamboyant designs. These cars were palettes for imaginative designers who were encouraged to emulate space flight and fighter planes. This series comes from Wendel's childhood.

In the pieces, He's tried to capture a particular design element of the automobile in a dynamic composition. As to scale, this size is how it appeared to him during the 50s & 60s. Concerning his work in general, subject matter is something Wendel find visually interesting, but in the end, not near as important as the execution of the composition. The contrast of shape, space and light define the piece. A reflective quality is one that Wendel find himself searching out, and he feels it gives the piece life and energy.
