You have a great talent!. I'm an artist myself from childhood through to MFA!. I would suggest closing your eyes and think of your boyfriend!. Then start associating images!. Then start gathering images from magazines, greeting cards, photos, etc!. Then arrange them like a collage!. You will begin to get an idea!. I am a guy!. Guys are not particular on the image you make!. They are more excited that you are doing it for them!. This is what I did for my wife before we were married!. I enlarged a picture of the moon landing!. Since she is a tiger and I am a horse by the Chinese calendar, I found pictures of those animals and pasted them on the photograph!. Then I cut it out in the shape of a heart since it was a Valentine's day card!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Take some painting classes you have a great deal of potential if you can paint like that without being trained!. Things to paint!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. I would paint something that he likes!. What I did for my BF is painted a symbol that he really likes!. I also let him choose one of my paintings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the car idea may be good object of interest, if there is a certain location where he enjoys driving , city/ country/ track, or other topics of interest like sports, music,or personal hobbies, use those as additives to the scenery, have fun,?
