About thirty years ago someone started to collect old cars and parts and deposit them on leased land at the bottom end of a wooded acreage.. He placed a few in what appear to be aesthetically pleasing positions and stripped a bunch more down to parts and positioned the pieces in rows and stacks. Only he knows what he had in mind. What looks like a junkyard is a deliberate tableau. There is moss everywhere and what light penetrates the trees lands on fenders and chrome and glass and bounces off again. Bus loads of German tourists used to visit and the whole thing became too much as the "installation" became popular and an intrusion on the privacy of the owner of the property. There are a couple of strange buildings with trees as corner posts full of parts and memorabilia. All in all a very eerie creation.

Well Ron,
You did a real colorful interpretation of this yourself. And I still couldn't get the 'elephant' size rolls of watercolour paper!
But we manage with 'Full Imperial' (the old time name) which are actually in metric sizes! Some things never change, yet they do! If you get my drift.
Regards
John
Ron - I love this painting and the post that goes with it.
Looks like what the base of a rainbow just after a storm should look like! I love the flow of colorchange in this one.
Hmmm...this sounds like a Ron Morrison wonderland dream come true!
Love the colour in this one Ron.
