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".

I see a beauty in combination of the light and colours for this painting!!!Also I love your idea that you used the warm colour on the wing of car at the right foreground...Great!!!
Thanks, Nureeya, practicing alla prima...
Did you do this on Yupo or Cold Pressed paper?
Hi Michelle, just regler 140 C.P. Arches...
Wonderful rich colors!!! I love that touch of cerulian among the darker colors.
Glad i stopped by! I too love the blue sky and the warm fender color surrounded by the cooler darks.
Very nicely done.
Thanks, Arti, I appreciate the sayso...
Thanks, Joan, cerulean is good...
Thanks, Ross, warmest warms against coolest cools or something...
Hi Ron; Do you frame your own paintings? Have you ever varnished them so they can be framed without glass? I am struggling just now with framing costs etc. and even considering acrylics. Thanks Ron. sure enjoy your blog. Will have to come by more often i think.
Cheers! Ross
I love how you painted the pine trees, they're abstract but not too much that you can't recognize them as being trees ;]
Your car watercolors are really intriguing! Can't wait to see more.

Thanks, Maddie, there'll probably be more...
Wow Ron! The color in this painting is very rich - beautiful -
Hi again Ron,
It's so great what you did newly with this painting.
I love it!!!
Thanks, Ross, I have a friend who has a framing shop and I can get my paintings framed but I am about a hundred behind...I don't use varnish as they can't be entered in shows if they are varnished.
Thanks, Cara, in real life this painting is much more nuanced, it has lost something in translation to the internet...
Thanks, Nureeya, I have been fiddling a little...
Thanks Ron for your reply re: framing. A hundred is quite a good lot. I am two behind i think. Smile! But i may be giving framing a try. It might be a good sideline perhaps. I also like what you did with this painting. You have a great way with the old cars. The way you capture the rust and the age is downright amazing!
I think that framing is always a problem and that if you can get equipment and do it yourself its a good idea.
Hey Ron, I've dropped in here the odd time and mean to give a shout sometime, but have been stupidly busy. Haven't commented as I don't know what to say. Your work is always worth the visit. Had to repost this due to spelling errors that made me look like an oaf.
Thanks, Clive, I'm still here doing the same thing...
