Truckin' through a field

For some reason, I felt the need to paint another old truck.  I just cant seem to get enough of rust and faded paint.  So here it is, an old Ford sitting in a field.  It looks like its been here for about a dozen years or so.  No wheels at all, so it is never gonna move.

I love the effect of the distant trees in this painting, and I can live with the sky.  I only wish I had painted the truck in my usual way.  One piece of sheet metal at a time.  It usually allows for nice breaks in the painting and I don't have to paint the joints between the panels.

Well, I like this and even the field seems to have a lot of texture to it. Enjoy.

Oh, and by the way, it comes in video too.  Check it out.

Lakeside Sunset

Its been a long time since I posted a video like this.  A quick to the point paintings.  It is what it is.  A sunset behind a lake with some trees in the foreground.  It looks spectacular, and its spectacularly easy to do.



I've made a video you can watch if you want to see how I did it.

Spooners Cove, Montana De Oro, Los Osos, California

This is  a little cove out here in the State Park  just south of Morro Bay.  There is nothing around for miles.  Every time I see it, I think there is gonna be a pirate ship anchored just off shore.

Hope you like it.

VW Street Parking

Here is a picture of a VW parked on the street.  Could be anywhere, but in my mind its somewhere like Philadelphia.  Or maybe some other big city in the eastern US.
The car is just sitting on the side of the street begging to be painted.

Oh, like many of my paintings from the past few months, this one comes with a video.  If you have an interest and wanna see it, click the link below.

Thank you.

Whale Breach

There are whales that migrate past my home every spring and fall.  This is just a quick representation of one of those whales breaching just outside the town harbor.


Oh, and by the way it come with a video to.  You can check it out here.

Thank you.

Quack Attack

So I was messing around and thought I would paint a duck.  Tried to do it pretty quickly and somewhat loose.

I thought it came out pretty good.  The colors muddle together just a little, but its still pretty clear what the edge of the duck it.  The wing is a bit so so.  I tried to put a  dark line to represent the ducks back wing, but I don't think it quite worked out.

Oh well, its still kinda a cool painting.  Hope you like it.

Delicious Nutritious Tomatoes

In a quick painting session over the weekend, I managed to bang out a few tomatoes.  These ones look so good you could pick them off the page and eat them.

I went with a lighter background rather than darker.  As I made up the story of the tomatoes in my mind, these were still on the vine in late summer.  The heat of August is bearing down on these tomatoes.  They are hanging just under a large group of leaves and waiting to be picked.

Mmm they look delicious and ready to pick off the vine and put on your dinner table.

Additionally, I made a video about painting these.  Check it out.
