This rustic relic is a good example of pastoral pulchritude, or maybe not, depending on your perspective
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".

Great background on this one.
Thanks, Michele.
This is such a good rendering of green. The background trees look like they have a malachite marbling effect. Nice. Looks like one of those fancy magazine illustrations.
Thanks, W.K., going green may be politically correct, however it doesn't impress the DP visitors- one hit out of 300 so far.
pastoral pulchritude...sounds like it fits, but could use another word to describe the rusted husk itself.
I think the green looks great, it reminds me of older cars and some of the colors they used to come in.
another superb solo mini! If I had one wish, I would wish for all of your cars to come to life as 3-D animated personalities. They each have their own & I'd love to see them jumping & dancing around in animation. Oh shut her up! She keeps saying the same damned thing over & over, solo minis, animated cells of your sacred autos. Tell her to go fish.
Grimm, how about rustic pastoral pulchritude. I read your journal, it brought back memories of being on the road. Thanks.
Michele, I just think about them as subjects for the paintings- I guess all I really want is to someday be a good watercolourist. I downloaded the photobucket program.
I really like this one! Looks really good! (but I don't know anything about art)
Thanks, Newnorth.
