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 love the dirty grays! I've come to appreciate color usage over the past couple of years (especially what some artists on blogs have done with/to it), but I still have a love for monochrome and limited palettes. The bottom one here looks timeless, like looking at photos of old, old relatives and seeing the family resemblance.
Ooooh, I really like the top one. It almost looks like a ghost. Like a quickly fading memory of the past. Very good.
Thanks Grimm, I did the sepia version in 1980 or thereabouts, now I can just hit the sepia button and instant "old". Computers, gotta love'em but they're evil...
Thanks Michelle, its fading as we cyberspeak!
Bye, be back in a coupla days.
I really like the ones with the white as a background. It's just the car telling it's story.
Have fun at work!!!
Miss you and seeing your work. Hurry back.

These monochromes are great. Top and bottom. Thx for trotting them out once again. Good luck on your adventure.. hope you strike the motherlode!
I like this gray. It's a mystical painting.
Hi Ron - Love the top one. Hope your going on a fun trip and not a work trip. Hurry back either way.
Thanks N.N., I did a series of them in 1977 before I could successfully handle background work.
Thanks Madison, I'm baack.
Thanks W.K., its the first time the blue one has been up, its a character that has appeared a few times in a bigger picture. I did seven or eight of these in 1977 before I could do much with backgrounds.
Thanks Michele, thats what I think it was to me.
Thanks Cara, it was a work trip but I survived. We poured a 6,000 square foot concrete floor and I finished it with my big power trowel. Which is similar to riding a Harley, believe it or don't. It took a day of driving to get to the job and back-eight hours (a work day).
I really like both of these. My feelings are similar to Doug's.
Thanks Tom, they are favourites of mine.
