16" x 40"  oil 

I need to do another semi-truck painting.  I really love the huge grill and all the chrome.  There are a bunch of trucks in town with that old fifties, turquoise color for the cab.  I'd love to paint one of those.

I see them driving by a lot, but I need to find out where they park and rest at the end of the work day.

I work at an antique shop, during the day, we're gearing up for the holidays.....I've been working 

a lot of hours at "Ozarks" and when things settle down, I'm going to get back into my studio!

I spend a lot of time daydreaming about paintings I'd like to paint lately, I need some time to try a few of these ideas out.  

Soon.......

Thank you for looking!

Heavy Metal

Last night I took my 1956 Ford truck out 

for a cruise with a local car club.  Last night was the first time I drove

Charlie 60 mph!  He did fine......nothing fell off, and the heater ROCKS!

That's kinda important to Alaskans.....we need heat even in the summer.

This painting seemed appropriate for today's post.  I love old cars and trucks!

I'll have to paint Charlie soon and post the painting.....introduce you to my new friend.

Thank you for looking!

I love city paintings.  I like the idea of trying to create a beautiful painting from the ordinary.....maybe finding a visual eyesore around town, and using it as my subject.  What if I could create something beautiful from something not so wonderful?

 This is a first of what I hope to be a new series of paintings.   

I do love rusty metal things...I have seen some beautiful con-ex containers around town....faded, sun damaged colors...rusty hinges and seams.  Ahhh....kinda amazing really.  A little graffiti and I'm in heaven.  So there, now you know my new mission!

Thank you for looking!
