It seems like their is always something new electronically! If you have a smart phone, you can download the barcode scanner. They are all free.

Tokio Cross Roads

Tokio Cross Roads

This old truck was buried up in weeds, in Tokio TX. Tokio is an old 'little bitty' town that is now just a ghost town.  All the buildings are falling down. There are so many memories from Tokio! I never lived there, but I hear so much about it, since so many of Plains people used to live there. Some dear friends met there at the Baptist Church, and married, over 40 years ago! It was a wonderful little town in its' day. My Granddad used to tell me stories about he and my Grandmother riding their horses to Tokio for 'play parties.'

If you ever travel on US 82 between Plains and Brownfield TX you will go thru this special place.

I have painted all the buildings, and they have fallen down since then! I will post them next.

By the way, this truck disappeared after I painted it!

Old DeSoto

Old DeSoto

I have painted this more than once! I love this old car. I have such fun painting these old relics.

I wonder where all they have been, how many miles are on them. How many secrets they might know!

I wonder how much they cost 'back in their day'

Just be Yourself!

I have reworked this one for the 3rd time, and it is now varnished.  

It needed a little red somewhere, so I added some red/white stripe and red/white polka dots.

Now its ready for somebody's wall!

I could have had a V8

This is the old truck, from the last post.  The lighting was just perfect on the front.  I use a lot of Kosher Salt to get the rusty texture. I would love to know where 'all' this old relic has been! They all have a story to tell...

Haul'n Hay

In July, I went out to our neighbors ranch, to take photos of his horse, saddles, etc, and when I drove up there was this wonderful OLD green truck!. Of course I had to photo it, inside and out. The photo of the inside really excited me so I painted it in with watercolor.  It has many many layers of paint to get the dark door.
I had such fun painting it.
(The photo is a little darker than real life, and the steering wheel shows up on the left better than it does in here)
