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 don't see the failed in it.. but once in awhile its therapeutic to bring out your less cherished work and bare all. Good colors as usual and I like the car design. But I'm still wondering what's under hood #2...
In this corner pic I thought the car had morphed into something else a more abstract shape, hence the "Fun Pic" header. I liked it, I just thought it showed something different. It is part of a larger puzzle that I could never solve. I thought it was a salvageable piece of a failed composition. It is also a style of painting that is more whimsical or something and I don't think I have successfully used it yet in a larger composition.
Ahhhhhhh ... so thx for that! If we're not enjoying the work then what are we really doing?
Silly as it may be I still love to paint the old cars. Without a place to play (the old car variations)) I never would have learned to paint. Also I think I have a unique way of presenting this subject matter that I have earned through intense and prolonged dedication to the notion that it was a "fun thing" to do. I have earned my style and for better or worse I am very proud of that because I think it is a very difficult thing to do. I would rather have my own style and be still working on it than copy someone else's more polished program. Better a crappy me than trying to be a good someone else.
Well said. Have you ever done or thought of doing solo minis?
Well said... I'm hopping off the train. Gonna catch another express to a better destination.
Michele, sorry, my brain is spinning-I just sent an article off and I was afraid of losing it. What are solo minis, do you mean the small English cars?
W.K., you are going to have to explain. No more Moore on DPs- if so let me say this, you are one of the most popular painters for people coming into the site. I know this cause I downloaded the sites tracking device.
do tell... send me an email .. if not a bother....
Today provides a good example of nothing in particular. I put up a painting which I thought would be of some interest to other watercolourists. It has some good painting in it. Bink it up to exploded view and it is interesting to look at. 5 hits. Hee hee oooh.
Nice colors Ron... I don't think you've failed.
Thanks, Kee, I cut it out of a larger painting that didn't work out.
ron, a solo mini is a miniature painting of one car.
Michele, when I first started to paint I used a 000 brush and looking back I guess everything was a version of a miniature. Details,details...now its go big or go home, but lately I've bashed of some 1/8th sheeters.
