Trucks!

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 .

Cheatham Street Warehouse

Image
  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.
