I couldn't resist juxtaposing a rusting out hulk of rolling sculpture that's only about 70 years old against the still-chugging steam locomotive that's probably well over 100 years old in the background. There are a couple issues here, but everything pales in comparison to how well that smoke turned out.
The title is from Sam Raimi's mid-90s Western. I thought it was appropriate.

Another figure with which I'm pretty happy. In hindsight, of course, there's always something I wish I'd seen earlier. But I really like where this one landed.

Just a close-up of a bullet hood ornament. I just can't remember what model this is.

This is a quick monochrome portrait of 50s model Diane Webber. Monochrome distills everything down to light, dark and whatever's in-between. It's always a good exercise. I still do some plain, old pencil drawing once in a while. But, I try to work in a monochrome portrait or figure painting once or twice a month to really keep my eyes on straight. I probably should do some cars and landscapes as well. We'll see.

That was a tough green to create. I tried to match an actual factory color. It's close-ish. If you know the color, you'll get the idea. Call it a "suggestion."

Just a loose landscape with Cashel Castle in the background. I think I went a little British on this one, but not too much. I'm pretty happy with the sky and the aerial perspective with the castle itself being a little indistinct.

I've always loved Jeeps. I didn't buy my first one until 2003 and just recently parted with it after almost exactly 15 years. A Wrangler probably will be my mid-life crisis car.

I've always felt Studebaker was ahead of its time with the aerodynamics of some of its car designs. Many of their cars look like they're moving fast just sitting still.

I finally got Boney to sit for a portrait. In spite of its name, watercolor lends itself pretty well to monochrome paintings.
