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".

Nice. The high key and monochromatic color scheme works well. Did you use hot pressed paper on this one?
Thanks, Michelle, its an old one, its upstairs, I think its cold pressed 140 as usual.
Like the subdued color on this .. Another car great! What you think Acorne?
Mediocre at best. I prefer those painting elephants-they're good.
The painting elephants are good.
Milford... be generous plz.. Respect the car(s). Hey I used to know a guy named Ron Carr...
Was he driven?
140 cold pressed is my fav, too.
Is Milford tipping the bottle again?
Still, the elephants are turning pink.
The bottle fell on top of milford, he doesn't need to tip it. Nice truck, car, 4 wheeled friendly monster.
Forgot to say I like the repetition of the grill on the side slats and the dancydots of the vent thingies and the dots on the wheely gigs. See? it all ties together and to me, the colors are like a lemon souffle. Check me out, I've lost my brain. But this is a yummy truck none the less.
Thanks, Michele, I lost my marbles a long time ago-maybe I just can't remember where I put them. Somewhere safe I hope.
I keep coming back to this one because of the colors, keeps looking like delicious Italian ice cream to me.
This Truck I'd like to own, it looks like a faded old paint job that Paint would stick good to. I'd like to paint chickens and flowers all over it and hit the road peddling my art.
