I started painting with watercolours in 1976 with a set of pans that I had left over from high school. I've always loved the shapes and colours of old vehicles as they settle in for the long rust. I especially enjoy creating scenes using characters I have collected over the years. These paintings are from my imagination. Check out the sales blog under "Links and Friends".

What the hell is the point of painting a bunch of old cars?
Aside from the insulting tone of your question, it is nevertheless valid.I paint them because I like to.
Like to what? Dangle participles?
Lookit, you- I up my meds and you're gone. But I will indulge you in the hope of temporarily quieting your annoying voice. I thought it would be fun to try and convey my sense of wonder when I found old cars out in the country. At first I was looking for something to restore(1976). I took photos,but when I looked at them I realized I wanted to paint the scenes.I had some watercolours from high school so I used them. I could always draw, but I had to learn how to paint with W/C. Since I enjoyed the idea of car painting so much I had to learn how. I wanted to do it in my own unique way- I've never had a lesson. Now the painting is the thing and I have convenient subject matter.
I know all that, the question remains- What is the point?
To bug you.
Do you think anybody will add to this padded comment box?
