Welcome back.
This week we’ll be taking a detour from our Sedona, Arizona scene. We will go back to it soon.
Remember this painting?
Well, after painting the second car (foreground), I was just itching to paint the words low miles or creampuff in the windshield. And so it came to me that I might try painting a car lot. But what I thought, in my bizarre thought chain, is that a used car lot would be more interesting and dramatic. I found several photos of a lot in Arizona, and the following seemed appropriate.
Front and center is a 1959 Volvo, a car known for rugged durability and 1940s styling at a time when tailfins ruled. It will make for an interesting painting. My initial brushstrokes are seen below.
I can’t wait to paint something in the windshield. See you next week.
Paint me a picture of your thoughts.

And here’s this week’s artwork (hope you don’t mind me posting it here):
Cool!
That’s cool.

great idea B2…love the possibilities in miss D’s suggestion…
here’s something you might find interesting…an exhibition of David Lynch’s paintings and photographs at the Fondation Cartier in Paris.
the sites a bit difficult to navigate at first…clik English to enter…nav bar at center bottom…clik David Lynch graphic…go to Presentation
his art work is as unique as his films
enjoy

Thanks, dada!
Hey there B2…I don’t always post here on your Saturday diaries but your art work is always something I look forward to at the end of the week. Love seeing the stages of the paintings. And I massively covet anyone who has artistic talent as I’m one of those people who can barely make stick people look recognizable.
Thank you!
