Artistic Release

Do you remember service stations? When was the last time someone checked your oil, washed your windshield, and pumped your gas? A few still exist but they are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Many are abandoned like the one captured in this painting, “Remember When?” which has a nostalgic feel of days gone by… when service meant more than convience… a slower time. I miss that…

Trivia question for my local friends:

Do you know where this scene is?

An artist friend, Mike Rooney, challenged me to paint 100 paintings after attending one of his workshops last September. I have been painting since January 2004 and until his workshop I had finished about 40 paintings… since December 6, 2006… I have painted 56 paintings… most I have sold on eBay. The painting above is #50. 

Here are some more recent “Impressionist” works… Details (titles, sizes, and descriptions) for them can be found on my “Art for Sale” page… 

If you get a chance, please drop by “My eBay” page and see my paintings up for auction… I’m posting these “One a Day” paintings there on an almost daily basis.

A special thanks to all my friends (old and new) who have supported my work through bids and encouragement.

Thanks for dropping by…

Comments always appreciated…

We have another artist in the family… my 16 year old son Dylan… except he handles an electric six string “Flying V” instead of a paint brush. He and some talented friends just started a new band called “Blessed be the Martyr in Me” and they had their first gig tonight. It was a benefit concert for “Relay for Life” where they jammed with seven other bands raising money for the same cause. They opened the show with two original songs and ROCKED on this their debut!

Some photos from the concert…

Looks like Robin Trower passed the torch just fine that night we saw him in June 2006. (Type in “Robin Trower” in the search box at upper right to see the details from that night)
