In spite of the attempt at looseness, this classic car still looks pretty detailed. It also seems more darkly-toned than most of my car paintings. That wasn't really intentional. But the shadows in the reference photo were a little unusual. Maybe I captured a little atmosphere without knowing it.

A portrait of dear Chatterly in graphite wash. Just keeping the macabre alive (undead?) throughout the year.

Here's a little portrait of a model easily found all over the internet.

Just a quick little landscape of an Irish standing stone.

Just an old Buick left to its own devices on the prairie. I used a little thinned gesso to knock back some of the color intensity in the bottom corners. I like the look of the gesso rather than just lifting with a wet brush. There's also a considerable amount of dry-brush to get the lightest grasses.

I love the old exploitation movies of the 60's and 70's - and the pulp novels and magazines that preceded them. I might even love the poster art for those movies (and covers for the books and magazines) even more. So, this sort of moves in that direction. Imagine beautiful-but-evil women terrorizing a city from the backs of motorcycles.

This is from a photograph shot in Belfast back in 1955, hence the title. I loved the graphic nature of the monochrome shapes and thought a watercolor version might be fun.

Not much to say about this one. Red heels on nice legs.

A portrait of my great-nephew. I painted his older sister a couple years ago so I had to get him on paper. I painted her from a reference photo taken at the beach. So, it's only fitting that I get him in a winter sweater in spite of the current season.

I'm very happy with this Jeep J20. I was able to get it loose-but-detailed and the colors complement nicely. It's probably one of my better car paintings of the last few months.

On the Irish coast. There's a lot of dry brush on this one for everything from highlights to rock and sand shapes.
