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".

Hey Ron. Great job with the vintage tin rusting away on this ol beauty. The building makes a nice background, very interesting shapes. Did this come from your head?
Yes, Robin, it did.
I love all these new combinations you are experimenting with. This one is very successful with artful rust & color, and dark boat as background w/intriguing shapes. Great direction very contemporary.
Thanks, Michele.
I want to make that house my studio.. with all the creature comforts.. but no creatures. 1-2- 3 - forground, middle ground, background. Can't go wrong playing variations on those notes... a major on this one.
I love this type of car portrait that you do Ron. Very intimate like you've got to know this car.
Thanks W.K., I swiped this barn out of a book about derelict buildings. The car was brand new- there is a guy down island who makes thirty four Fords with parts he gets from all over the world. He may not make them any more-his name is Timmis. Once I got the shape I just aged it. I also changed the shape of the car from it's previous version to a sleeker hot rod shape,
Thanks, Kee, the painting is a figment of my imagination. I'm glad that you find them convincing.
