@JLNobody,
Thank you! I have decided to create a series of big cat portraits . I'm hoping to whisk the series down to a loal art shop and have them hung and sold there. I don't know if they will hang them, but I want to try any way.

@Aldistar,
I just bought me a bigass STanley roller tool bin. I can fit all my brushes, watercolors, pastels, and spray bottles and media , as well as pencils, etc. The only thing I need is another tool box to jest hold my airbrush and pump.

Oils are kept on a big wooden case (Whatever the hell thos oil paint cases wre called.

I am ready for "Plein aire" and any field trips to paint mules (My latest passion)

Yes, I'm also struck--and I mean that literally--by its composition.

@farmerman,
when i worked in picture framing in the 80's, this toronto artist was very popular, the pic reminds me vaguely of his work

Arto Yuzbasiyan

The Mid Eighties saw the arrival of the new street cars in Toronto. The old street car, seen from the back, seems to suggest a departure, an end of an era . This watercolour captures that moment in time as the city is trying to cope with winter.

@farmerman,
it also calls to mind, the great canadian watercolour artist and member of the group of seven A J Casson

@JLNobody,
Its Pittsburgh, where every turn of the block is a new vista.

There are more landslides in the town of Pittsburgh than in all of New Mexico (probably)

@farmerman,
Oh, yes, that is lively and interesting - the dark of the upper central rusty facade and the dark gray/blacks (and more) forward of it and especially left of it, and the not so dark facade on central right... and the unchanging antarctic snow of the street - frame light.

I like it.

@ossobuco,
one of my first rules given me by an art teacher in grade school.
"Keep yer darks and lights together and dont break em up into little patchworks"

@farmerman,
That blank white street bothers me.
I think both the artist and fm know more than I do (well, that's easy).

I'd like to hear the artist talk about it.

@ossobuco,
The bright midday winter sun in a recent snowfall. The light is coming in from the upper left.

We have brilliant post snowfall days like that. The Bucks County artists used to celebrate these kinds of days and ould do lots ofplein aire studies in recent snowfalls.

Bill captures it just as it is.


I was an art student from a tender age. We had an intitute which was part of the art alliance and I attended the adult classes taught by a serie of local illustrators , it was one of those things I treasure in my memory.

@littlek,
LK, thanks for evidence that obsessive compulsive drives can be constructive. Some really great stuff. If possible, you should look up the drawings of Donna Rae Larson, of Prescott, Arizona.

@littlek,

I really love the mural and would love to have one on my wall.

And though the art on the car looks incredible, it pains my purist sensibilities to have magic marker foul the paint job of a car. It's an irrational dislike of any kind of cheap modification that bothers me. It's almost blasphemy in my eyes to take a sharpie to a BMW.

@JLNobody,
Its not my choice either. I suppose that, with enough clearcoat, you could do all kinds of grafitti on a car.(Thats what I think it looks like). I saw A BMW with those free form flames and germanic symbols (NO SWASTIKAS) . They were airbrushed and then clear coated with a very high gloss CC.
The BMW was first primered, then covered witha very light lavendar "pearlescent" base, then the flames were done in a purplish free-form. It was easily a 25 k paintjob. I figured it based on 75 dollars an hour for the artist and then about 5 k for the clearcoats. I estimated that it would take about 6 weeks of design painting in several campaigns,drying , retouching, detailing , then clearcoating
