mean 5540" x 60" oil on aluminum
This finishes up my car series, and it has been quite a challenge. I loved working on this one, I meant to work in the driveway of the fellow who owns the car, but came down with a miserable cold, the Captain's father moved in with us, and I decided I'd better work from the photos. I moved the easel out into the garden in the evenings and painted the car into a corner of my garden at sunset. I could work on this one as a lifetime project, it has been so interesting and satisfying...but I think it's time to let go. I'm delivering them all tomorrow, and I think the studio is going to feel a little empty for a few days.
We are going down south for a couple of days to visit Uncle Ted and Aunt Marianne, and to visit my friends Lane and Mike. We got the word that Mike is at the very end of his long battle with cancer. I want to go and paint there with them in Lane's beautiful garden as we always planned. I look forward to seeing everyone.

Oh I've missed so many great paintings in the last several days! Haven't been doing much computer work (smile) since life here on the island is just so grand and distracting!! Love the work you've posted. Sounds as if summer has been a bit over the top. So sorry we weren't able to get an art camp into the picture. We've barely seen Shane either, she's so busy pushing to get ready for Portland. Oh well - we miss you and love you, and love getting to see your art work!!!
