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 think I have seen this one before. Still love it. The buildings and the cars. The woodwork and the headlights on that car are great.
Where the boys hang out...
Love the wood paneling.
Thanks N.N. seen it before? Why yes you have. I may have to actually paint something.
Thanks Grimm, its actually a movie set which I took a picture of and added the cars. "The Pledge" with Jack Nicholson was filmed in Lytton, B.C. We built a bridge there after they had filmed the movie and I took some pictures.
This is such an interesting station and made all the more interesting with your colors and textures.
Thanks Joan, did you read the above comments about what the station really was? A movie set that was left behind and was used as a store. (Not an old gas station)
Great collection Ron. I get the homespun feel. Now I'm hungry for a short stack and some strong black coffee. These scenes remind me of when I travelled around the Seattle area getting up early and looking for a greasy spoon hook-up. Nicely done - again.
Thanks W.K., The buildings were thoughtfully provided by the movie company. I used to travel the interior in my old 37 Coupe looking for the little cafes and notel motels.
Nicely done, Ron.
Nicely done, Ron.
Thanks Michelle, the little boy is now almost as big as Mab.
