Ol' Blue


Oil on 1/4" Board. Approx 10"x10" SOLD

Every time I go to a car show or cruise night, I take a slew of photos in hopes of painting them. Usually only a few turn out worthy of a painting. I felt this one was one of those. I have another that I hope to complete this week.

  3. Ol'Blue has a wonderful foggy feeling. I love the combination of soft and hard edges and how you used the moody colors.

  4. Not a fan of car art, but this just proves the point that any object can be beautiful if painted well! I feel almost inspired enough to paint something myself...almost.

  6. I've noticed that you paint food for awhile, then you switch to another topic, then back to food again. I do the same thing with my photography... I mostly photograph nature, but I switch to different topics sometimes for a needed change of pace.

    Ol' Blue looks great
