I painted this in 1986, I am very proud of the imaginative title, my second choice was Pile of Cars...Heap of Heaps. A mini-retrospective.

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".

Wow...this is unbelievable. The only thing I don't like so much is that car teetering on the right, but your depiction of all those cars with such detail is incredible.
Wow, I really like this one. How do you not go crazy with all the details?
Thanks Grim.
I was crazy to start with, N.N.
Nice ron.. must have taken days to deliver the finishing touches here. Like how you got the colors to granulate. Composition carefully planned out and pleasing to the eye.. a cool journey in and around the menagerie.
If I remember correctly it took ten days to paint. I vowed that I would learn to paint quickly and easily and I have....however these detailed early works get an inordinate amount of attention. Thanks, W.K., I understand the nature of a blog being a journal but I had the blog before I was a DPer and in my opinion you have to have some sort of "context", show how your work has changed (progressed?). So people don't think that a coupla months represents a life time of painting.
This is a beautiful painting. It has some kind of magic to it that's over the top. In another artists hands, it could be super busy, but it doesn't appear that way. It's just way fun--so busy that its not busy. I enjoy seeing old work right alongside potatoes. I'm putting up old work now too, and I don't know what other people think, but it's fun for me and I'm having fun with it. why not?
Egg-zactly!
What a super quality to see the big version. It's just great!
Thanks, Michele, I'm a better painter now but some of the determination/passion has gone.
Excellent, Ron. This may be my second favorite. The little church in the woods is still in my top 5 favs.
Thanks, Michelle.
Reminds me of a salvage yard nearby some years ago. Stacked 5 high, they were. Pity that they were sent to the car crusher a few years ago.
Hello B.J., yes the crusher came through here and squashed a coupla yards- actually its an ongoing program. I made this one up to compensate.
Passion gone from burn-out?
This looks great popped up big. Even with all the detail there's a nice playful quality to it.
It's been a busy week for me away from the studio recently but time clearly doesn't stand still on your blog. Besides your art, I also enjoy your writing style but I'm not always sure I read it with the right voice. There is usually a wry overtone as I hear it and sometimes I swear that you're being . . . sarcastic? How's that for stating the obvious?
Michele, I've paid to play for too long...a few sales and hope may return.
Thanks, Tom. Yikes!, how could you say such a thing? Me, sarcastic?
amazing details that keep my eyes happy and busy!! You could also call it "rust o-leum!"....great painting!
Thanks, Holly. Now the wheels are turning... rustoleum...
Paid to play for too long?? I, too, am feeling the 'ouch' of pay-to-play. My time is up in a few days. Still don't know if I can "$29 it" another month.
Ron - I was gone for a few days and just got back to my desk. WOW! What I missed!!! I love this -
Beejay, at least the blogs are free. I'll post my take on the pay to play industry in the next little while.
Thanks, Cara, people ask me at the shows if I have a 55, 57...so I just did a bunch in one painting- that oughta keep the bastids quite.
