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".

I like this. Nice richness throughout and these cars seem more "junked" rather than positioned for that natural unplanned look. You keep me coming back for more!
That, of course, is the idea.
Ron can you use a gamin sleeping in the back seat? I like the top green car and the way it's balanced with the bottom car with red splash. Exquisite Rajah... one to the next month!
Brilliant!
I love the sense of movement, the colors and the composition.
Thanks W.K.,the last painting I did with real manganese blue.
Thanks, Jennifer. Did you notice Louis Boileau's Garden Blog?
Nice! Again, great colors and composition.
Where do you find all the "models" for your paintings? Or do you paint from memory/imagination?
Thanks for the link!
Thanks,...
I make 'em up...
My pleasure.
I like the round lines and shapes, sort of undulate back & forth, up and down; lots of rhythm. How can you be so polific? cut that stuff out!
Thanks Michele, I enjoyed the gorilla valentine.
You make 'em up?!? Now I'm really impressed.
Thank you-I have a hard time getting that idea across. People tell me that they would like to paint a certain scene not grasping the concept that they are figments of my imagination. There are 1 or 2 that are actual scenes, small single car pictures. I wanted to paint scenes that I had fabricated- thats why they are a bit goofy, I wanted them to be a little quirky or something.
I like the barn in this one , and the drum right in front knocks me out!
Thanks Robin, those details are fun to do, they are almost paintings within paintings.
