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".

Every brushtroke a nuanced masterwork.
Don't forget to knock out those unsightly 0's, remember
I really like the shacks and weathered houses you've been adding. They bring a lot of character to the work. These are landscapes with cars. Based on these gems Ron.. I bet you'd be a PA natural.
Why thank you, thats what I thought, Robin.
Thanks W.K., did you read my answer to your question about paper?
Just terrific, the shacks look like tapdancers dancing to a jitterbug and the cars are about to jump about & roll around. The one on the rt. with the open hood could be popping his hood & trunk up and down to the rhythm of the beat. I would love to see this painting become an animation.
Thanks, Michele, they are supposed to be fun.
Hey check out www.emptyeasel.com they are featuring some whacked out artist.
Ron I just scooted back a few posts and read your paper comment. Sorry I didn't get back for that .. comes with being selfish and self-centered I guess. Anyway I enjoyed your paper story and the little history. I have used Arches about the 30 years too... and love it. I'm using lanaquarelle and that is excellent. I bought a bunch of winsor newton watercolor paper and it's crap.. had to put it in the basement... f--K (pardon the hyphens)!! You can't lift once the colors dry. It's like painting a fresco. So forget doing nice smooth washes... Just say NO to WN paper. Saunders Waterford is most excellent too - Arches... good... WN bad. Anyway good posts all around!
Very nicely presented.
Michelle wuz here checkin' out the rust buckets.
How's that for not kissin' ass? Nope, I didn't just post a new painting on my blog either. Hee hee.
(nice colors, btw)
Michelle, such refreshing honesty. Its all good fun and I do appreciate you stopping by.
Thx ron.... the guy's name at emptyeasel is Dan... no last name.
Ron...I like all the junks laying around the foreground. This is a fun piece.
Thank you Kee, could we call it an "add- junk" or an adjunct to the main interest area?
