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".

Yes, this is fun! Did you combine different views of one car to create this scene? I also like the shadows on those interesting roof surfaces. Very nice!
Ron - this is a great painting. I enlarged it and studied it for quite a while thinking "how does he do that?"...then it hit me. Yo're not a painter..you're a jeweler. I swear its true. That wonderful dash of golden topaz and carnelian amid the amethyst roof top trimed in turquoise. ANd those wonderful cars made of mystic topaz! Beautiful!
Thanks Liz, Yes I did.
Thanks Cara, I had a Carnelian one time but it scaped.
Sometimes I wish I could see your paintings not on the computer screen but on the canvas. I guess you put glass over them when you display them so it has that same shiny touch the screen gives them but there's something about seeing the texture of a painting.
Anyway, I like the idea of different angles of the same car.
I love the "twilight" look to this one. I'll take a ragtop any day!
Great greens! You are the green machine. Nice complement on the magenta in the car.. pops like a viewmaster.
Opps .. guess that color was bluegenta.........
Thanks N.N., they actually don't look all that good without glass. They are painted on paper and a lot of them on the blog have been photographed without glass- I don't know.
Thanks Joan, they are all the same car.
Thanks W.K., I've gone green, I can't help it. Actually I know painters who won't use green at all, maybe thats why I like green so much-its a contrarian thing...
This is very nice. Excellent contrast and use of colors.
Thanks Michelle, howz things?
