We Got it Made-SOLD

A "banger" i painted while hanging out with Doug Hoover on Ocracoke. We were getting a drink at a convenient store and here was this little beauty of a scene. who says you gotta go far away to find things to paint. i dont have time to paint all the ones i see in a square mile radius.

check out dougs stuff here. he has some really nice stuff and is a cool guy as well.

I was there! I saw painting happen right before my eyes (while swatting biting flies).

Mike, thank you for the kind words and for helping me jump-start my painting brain. Let's go paint some more...

Excellent work, Mike.

douglas- that means alot coming from such an accomplished painter as yourself. we will definately be painting again soon! sold "we got it Made" yesterday at my workshop! paid for a days hotel, rest of the paintings i did that day are profit. cant help seperate the business from the painting when its your sole source of income. when youre a plein air painter, biting flies help you make more per hour LOL LOL

I was busy with my kids on Friday and didn't "pull the trigger" on this little jewel of a painting. I'm just learning to paint (old dog, new trick) and I've bookmarked a few blogs of people whose work I enjoy studying. I love old Airstreams and, within a millisecond, I decided I needed this painting. If you decide you need to get another drink and have tools of the trade in hand, I like the subject.

michael- i just know i'll do another of that one. the first one was too fun not to do it again. keep an eye out and keep that clicking finger limbered up LOL

tracy- thanks. painted entirely from the "creative" side of the brain in around 30 min. the quick ones are the best arent they?
