Tracy Grand Theater Art Gallery

Today a friend and I braved the stormy weather to drive to Tracy to enter new work for a show there. To my delight, William said he wanted to keep two of my paintings from the previous show.  He said he liked them so much and the colors are beautiful in the display.  What a nice surprise.  And he took 6 more paintings as well for the next show which will continue through December.   This is such a lovely art galley in the Tracy Grand Theater complex.  I hope you can get a chance to visit and see my work.  William is also going to display 6 of my paper cranes, so that will be nice to see.  Below are photos of some of the work which will be on display.

Painting Great Old Cars

Painting Great Old Cars

 I have been having fun painting old cars, trucks and tractors when I can find them.  My friend and I were driving around Pacifc Grove (CA) looking for a restaurant for dinner when we turned down this road and discovered this great car!  It was about a week before the 4th of July so the car and house were all decorated up!  I took photos and eventually painted the first three paintings.  My friend went to the parade and took the photo of the car in the parade, thus the 4th painting.
Each painting took me 6 hours to paint, but it was fun to try and capture the flags, reflections and shadows.  I like them all and can't figure which I like best.  Let me know which one YOU like best!
