Dead Vehicle Challenge

James Gurney posted a challenge...Paint a dead vehicle. One that doesn't run. Car or truck.
I wanted to do this old vehicle for a while so I set up there and did it.  It had to be painted on location, and you had to post a photo of your easel, etc.  This old international is in Plains, TX.
I started out trying to use oils but I don't paint enough with oil to know what to do, so I ended up using a sketchbook, and drawing it with my fountain pen and ink, then painted with watercolor and a little gouache.

July Picnic

This just reminds me of a summer picnic.  I started this as a demo for the
Women's Club in Lubbock, TX and finally had a chance to finish it.  Cherry Pie is my favorite!

This Little Piggy

I am still working on some AG collages for the 2018 Calendar.  This little piggy was fun to do.  He's taking the time to smell the 'flowers' as well as have a little nibble!
This is 9x12 on stretched canvas mixed media/collage.  Paint and magazine pages.

Corn Collage

Another ag painting, for the Calendar I am doing.  The Corn got a little tedious, but was fun to do.
I used some painted paper in this one. Some colors are just hard to find.
This is 9x12 on stretched canvas.

American Tractor

John Deere is the all American Tractor in my book! We have a few of them. Love seeing them, hearing them, smelling, riding.....all of those!

This was done for an Ag Calendar and is sold.

Taco Truck

I was asked to do a Taco Truck for someone who has several stores. It was fun after I got started with all the bright colors.  It is 16x20 on stretched canvas and is available .

Watercolor Workshop

I just finished a 4 day workshop. It was a lot of fun. Lots of hard work.
I had 10 signed up and due to illness, etc. 3 dropped out. So we had 7 really great fun artists all painting their own style using my drawing.  I never did get photos of theirs.

The first picture I did before workshop then I painted one along with them.
There were 2 from Arizona, and 1 from San Antonio area, and 4 from Lubbock. 

The black one has a new home.
