Run'em, Wreck'em and Store'em..Auto Wreckers, Sort of
Where the roads are rough, sometimes washed out and the crusher never gets there, you can find yards full of cars that are all one make, but different years. They were bought for $25 bucks, mid last century, run into the ground and when they would go no more they became permanent gothic yard ornaments. The next runner brought in and kept running as long as interchangeable parts from the previous wrecks would allow. And then the next one was acquired...thats how yards in remote areas got full of cars. The details man, the details, just give me the details...okay, okay, just bink to blow.

I binked and blew. Really nice piece; composition and technique. Like the crispness to the paint and painted lines and also the gull placements. Loose and fresh but obviously very considered.
Thanks, Clive, feeding the DP's...these "set" pieces are challenging to do because they are all imagination.
HI Just wandered in. Your stuff is great! Interesting subjects and great compositions.
Carl
Thanks, Carl, fun to have dropper- in'ers.

Thanks Sandy, I paint'em for the people who like'em the rest can go blow! (this in response to the people who don't like my painting or subjects)
I like your paintings and your subjects. I am amazed at how you can just pull these babies outta your head...yummy as always...lovin' them seagulls too!
Nice nice.
Thanks Tracy, for me that is the fun, that they are my creations.
Excellent Ron.. a respectable collection of rusters...
Thanks W.K., just feedin the DP's for a month.
Um...what does 'feeding the DP's mean? I've been thinking and thinking...and I finally have to ask for directions lol
I am on the Daily Painters, see link/icon/widget thingy and bink away...
ahhh, back to cars. I think my brother is putting together a nice Z graveyard for ya :p
(we followed an old beat up Gremlin today. I think he saw us and left the parking lot. Anyway, I'll probably put up some bad pictures from my cell camera of him running away :p)
Happy Monday!
Great work! Really enjoy your subjects and stories, a real pleasure to look through your blog :)
Thanks N.N., old and busted, cars, boats, houses...fun to paint.
Thanks Tracy, fun to have you stop by.
Ron, Great cars and great location!! Imagine the stories each of these cars hold!!!!
Hi Ron,
Have we seen this one before? It looks kind of familiar. It's a nice painting. So you're painting daily again? That's quite ambitious of you.
Thanks Joan, the house I found when I was up in the interior working on a big bridge, It is an imaginary scene that I enjoy painting.
Thanks Michelle, I joined up again for Feb, I am painting quite a bit but not a painting a day. Yes I've painted this one a dozen times and this is an old painting.
Ha, like a bunch of confused salmon...
