Rust & Stardust
Click to Bid, 22 by 34 inches, Acrylic on acid free illustration board
The "Vehicle in Snow" series continues with this latest painting. The title suggests more than a rusting car from the past. To me this vehicle is seen as an iconic relic of a past time which was very different and very romantic. I remember the duck tailed greasers and poodle skirted girls along with the doo wop singing groups as a young child. When I see this painting, those memories are recalled.

Sun, Snow & Rust
I've always been fascinated with automobiles and their significance in the American psyche.
That interest is extended to the rusting discarded vehicles from years past. Here my goal was to produce a painting of the vehicle with a brief snow shower and a clearing sky while the remnants of an earlier heavy snowfall are still evident.

Frozen Ford Fairlane
My latest painting in the "Vehicle in Snow" series. The isolated location of the rusting car adds to the interest.

Rust Never Sleeps
The newest addition to the "Car in Snow" series. As I've previously mentioned this series has been the most successful for me in artwork competitions. This painting depicts a 1984 Chevy Cavalier. The title is from a Neil Young song.

Rusting Away
This is a painting of a 19th century iron. The iron was placed on a wood stove over the fire box. It would become hot and was then used for ironing clothes. After a few minutes it would be replaced on the wood stove to reheat. The rusted metal contrasts well with the textured wood barn wall in this painting.

Laid to Rust
This is one in a series of salvage vehicles that I've painted over the years. This is the first small artwork I've painted in the series. I'm fortunate in that my brothers own a salvage yard. Each winter after the snow has fallen I take numerous photos that I later use as reference when painting.
