Rust in Peace

3-22-24   I really wanted to add a background to this painting so i did.. ha.. and made the windows more believable but i kept the blue shadow.  Neither photo does it justice.  much brighter in person..   love Acrylics..  

 This is for the Square foot Show in Bismarck later this summer.  I used a sketch i did a long time ago. Wheels are a bit wonky but that is OK.  Color on photo is pale. 

I remember i put a wreath on the grill one year and used this image for Christmas cards. 

S'more Happiness 6-24 SOLD in Pekin

June, the theme at the Gallery is "happy Camper"..  i looked thru photos from our camping days back in the 70's - 80's.  remembered a photo of me drinking Boone's Farm right out of the bottle with a sun hat on.  horrible but would have been fun to work on.  ANYWAY, i went with this and i love it. 

 

Penguina (Spanish for this bird) baby Gift

Another baby shower in my home town, for my niece, Katy. ..  They requested books instead of cards and i found a bedtime story book with a penguin on cover and painted this to match. He is pretty cute.  Son, Mike, does surfing in Baja, Mex, and said a friend said he looked like a Penquina .  thought that was a great likeness..
