Two old truck paintings for you to enjoy! First is called  Red Truck at the Broken Spoke and is an 11x14 framed acrylic painting of a red '49 Ford Pickup in front of the Broken Spoke, the iconic Texas Honky-Tonk on South Lamar in Austin. I've now painted three famous Texas Honky-tonks: the Broken Spoke, Gruene Hall, and Cheatum Street Warehouse. The second painting was a photo from our recent trip to Alaska, taken in the Canadian Yukon at the town of Carcross ( Car ibou Cross ing). It's a 5x7 framed watercolor called Yukon Truck .

 The Pigeon Point Lighthouse , south of San Francisco, is stunning. Here's my attempt at capturing the iconic view on an 8x8 canvas in acrylics. Pigeon Point Lighthouse

This was a fun project. During our trip to Arizon and Utah, I took a photo of the Temple of Sinawava and Zion National Park.  Back home, I decided to paint it, first in watercolor, then in acrylics. The results are below, along with the source photo. What do you think? Watrercolor Acrylic Source Photo

I'm excited to announce that my new Picture Book, "The Short (and Perfect) Poem of Theodore J. Mouse" is now available on Amazon !

 Painted in acrylics on 9x12 stretch canvas.

  Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos is an old-time honky-tonk that Joan and I would frequent while in college. The ghosts of Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, George Strait and the Ace in the Hole band, and others that we danced to still echo there. This was painted with acrylics on a 9x12 stretch canvas.

"The Village." Acrylics on stretch canvas.  

First painting of 2024 is this 9x12 acrylic of the Manarola Harbor in Italy. Deciding if I'm going to take what I learned and re-produce it on a 24x30 canvas.
