1939 Ford Woody

1939 Ford Woody, oil on canvas, 8x10. Another in the series of paintings I am doing of old cars and trucks from my toy auto collection. I never owned one of these, but remember as a teen I wanted to buy one (the real car) for only $50.00. My dad would not let me because some of the wood was bad. Oh what he did not know; now they are priceless.

Classic

Painted from a old toy car from my auto collection. Classic, 8x10, oil on canvas board. I have about thirty of the cars I would like to paint.

1939 Chevy

I have started to collect toy cars of every auto or truck I ever owned. I thought I would do a painting of some; this is an oil of the 1939 Chevy coupe I owned in the early years of high school. The painting is an 8x10 oil on canvas board.

Vineyard Vista

One of three new vineyard paintings going to the Lahaina Galleries, San Francisco, Ca. Painting in Napa area is always a great experience. However, this is one was done from other paintings on location in my studio. Wine and vineyards are always a classical image to paint.
