Classic 63 Ford Fairlane

1963 Ford Fairlane, 11x15 watercolor $495.00

 I dream of owning one of these classic old 63 Fords some day. I love the fact that it still has some fins, but not too big, it also has just plain lots of style. I found this one at a small car show in Lewistion Idaho in April. I snapped a few photos, (see below) and decided I had to paint it. also note  a bit of the painting in progress below. If you or your honey has a classic car, commission me to paint it for you. Just email me a photo to work from, and tell me how big you want it, and how soon, and I can email you a cost estimate. Cheers!

"Crazy 'bout a Mercury"

The Old Mercury, watercolor, 7.5"x11", price $265.00

Spent the weekend at an "art in the park" in Lewiston, Idaho. They also have a car show there. I so enjoy walking around and seeing all the old classic and muscle cars.  I especially enjoy the cars of the early 1960s, I do want to own one someday and one with the very cool round tail lights like this and maybe a hint of some fins. I think I am kind of a Ford and Mercury guy, they all look so cool. I saw a 1963 Ford Fairlane, it was very cool! I am also very fond of the 1960 Chevy Impalas  or the Pontiac Catalina... Such Cool Cars. I found this old pink Mercury out on an old farm near colfax awhile back. I finally had to paint it.

To Rainy to Paint Outside

We have spent a few fun days on the Oregon coast. The last few days have been very rainy, and it has made it kind of hard to paint outside. So I did a little watercolor in the beachhouse using my laptop as reference. Here is the painting and one of the photos I used as reference.

"Afternoon Warm-ups" Baseball just around the corner!

"Afternoon Warmups" 6"x8" Watercolor

When my son was in high school, I loved to go watch him play baseball. The baseball field was located in such a neat spot, and had so many games with the sunsets that were so beautiful. I caught this shot I painted from one day. He was playing catch, warming up with a team-mate as the sunset sky cast an awesome yellow-orange color. If you want a 5x7 Giclée print  of this contact me and I can mail you one.
