57 Fleetwood - watercolor

watercolor, 2018
available, 11"x15"

      Another classic Cadillac with lots of shiny paint and chrome. I had some fun with this one finding ways to suggest more than show and still get plenty of detail and/or the appearance of detail, a skill I want to continue to enhance.

57 Chevy #7 - watercolor + charcoal

mixed, 2012
available, 22"x30"

      This is an older piece I discovered I hadn't uploaded here. It's a piece that is started and finished as a complete charcoal drawing. Then I fix the charcoal to keep it from rubbing off and paint over it with watercolor. The charcoal becomes a great underpainting and gives those deep shadows. I've done several pieces this way, though it's been a while since the last one.

Coffee In The Window - gouache

gouache, 2015
available, 11"x15"

      My sister recently started selling things in a local "antique" mall. While checking out her space and helping bring in a heavier item I saw these displayed just across from her. There was a lot more junk cluttering the area and the window didn't actually look outside, just over to another space. But, I saw "something" there and had to settle for a bad phone camera shot. It seems to have worked out OK, though.

      Here's that missing Kaiser painting I mentioned last week. I really like this one. I'm surprised I haven't posted it yet.

Toothy Grin - gouache

It's '49 Buick Super Dynaflo convertible, quite possibly one of the prettiest pieces of rolling sculpture Detroit ever produced.

59 Apache #2 - watercolor

watercolor, 2014
original available - 11"x15" $350
prints also available

Another view of the abandoned Chevy on Horneytown Road this time in my old friend watercolor. This one turned out really well, though I still wish I'd done a little more with the headlights.
