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".

It appears you learned your lesson - this is beautiful Ron, as always I love the reflected light, you really are good at what you do.
Thanks Cara, there's new Milford's.
Not that good apparently.
I like the front fender, lots of colors :) and the background is cool :D (you even snuck some pink in on the side!) ...okay i will stop rambling :p
Thanks N.N. ramble on, thats the whole idea.
Saturated reality!
Gorgeous colors!!!
Tanks Grimm, the reason I have painted cars and boats is basically just so I can have a place to play with paint.
Thanks Joan, the whole thing is just about colour for me and I don't want to do it like everybody else.
The miniature has been born, the next time my wife visits she will get pics, she blew the first go round.
It's saying....come restore me. You too much....another great work of art.....you taught yourself well.
Thanks Madison, the cars just became an enjoyable way to learn how to paint. I never would have painted without a favourite subject. Then I got hooked on watercolour.
Like the colors on this one.
Are you familiar with pour painting using watercolors? There is a two day class coming up here that is about pouring with watercolors. Looks like it could be interesting.
Thanks Michelle, yes I am familiar with pour painting, but I've never used liquid watercolour that I think is available now. Watercolour works so much better when lots of water is involved and when its poured and manipulated. But its a bit gimmicky, it becomes more like an artificial process than actually painting. It would be fun to take a class though.
I like the textures in this work. The colors combine with the texture to give a most vibrant feel. Seems as if painted on some fine fabrics.
Thanks W.K., maybe different paper?
