For Lorne


Now, I may not be able to explain this clearly but I'll give it a try. When we were in high school I had a buddy named Lorne who was a Ford fanatic. We called him Ford Lorne. He always wanted a five-window coupe, but ended up with a four-door sedan his dad gave him for graduation. He was sorta aggrieved about the whole situation and we just had to call him "Four Door Lorne". Well as monikers go it was cumbersome so he became Four Lorne and then just plain Forlorn. To this day he is still Forlorn to his friends and ironically he's quite a happy chap. This car was acquired later on, its a five window coupe, but it just sat and is now truly forlorn rotting at the back of the property. (Don't blame me, I don't make this stuff up...wait a minute maybe...)

If you made it up your talent for fiction is as wonderful as your talent for watercolor. Love this -

This is "very" COOL Ron. Glad your still painting because I haven't heard from you.

It looks like it's asking "will you adopt me?"

I think it's amazing that these old cars are still around. Fascinating stories and paintings.
