Trailer #3
Everything is wet so here is one from my trailer series I didn't post (here) as I had posted a similar one to it not long ago. I don't what to post so many of the same subject in a row, for instance I do have another Train painting dry, but I want to save that one for a bit, due to having so many trains recently. 16x20 oil on linen board.

Do you always start off with toned canvases? Is that some of the toned canvas showing through, or do you just work on lots of layers?
I like the shadow on the trailer, I also like the van hiding on the side, like if you come closer, it's gonna get you.
Hey Bill, Shane from WC here. I saw this on WC but, as you know, you can't see any great amount of detail there. This painting rocks. Your impasto brushwork and use of complements and harmonious colors is fucking astounding. I love the way you used the greens and blues to imply shiny surfaces.
That said, I think the car may be a bit small :D
That's some nice color you've got going on that trailer, Bill. Real subtle greens and pinks in the shadows. You handle cars quite well, it's hard to resist rendering out every detail to get them to look normal, but you pulled it off.
I wish I could see the little old lady who lives in there, she'd walk out wearing curlers and a stained bath robe with pink slippers, holding a cigarette in one hand and a Tab cola in the other. Followed by a pack of rabid yapping small dogs.
This one rocks. It's that dappled light in colors. Love it.
Great colors with this piece - as always.
Katz-- Yes almost always-- it's litterally "sets the tone" for the painting.
BG why are my vans so evil? Like sampping turtles.
Hey Sane,
You are too kind, and a sharp observer as always. Get that blog together son!
First time here on your page, I loved your paintings, different approach than most of the other daily painters, refreshing, keep it up, I'll be visiting.
...Parkies...!
Funny. You called me "Sane". That's so incredibly far from the truth :D
Anyway, that blog that you looked at is not actually my current blog and I think I finally managed to keep it from showing up in my profile. My real blog needs a lot of help too but is considerably better than the one you looked at. It's located at http://shanekeene.blogspot.com
The content there kind of sucks as I haven't had a lot of time to update but I do have links to some impressive artist's blogs (yours included)
Peace, out.
Tony, You were there?
thanks Johnnie, Can trailer paintings rock?
thaks Sheri, I like your birdhouse.
The colors on the trailer look good enough to eat.
; - ) I like Tony 's idea about who lives there; I think that old lady (Maxine?) character from Shoebox Greetings might come out and start yelling at everyone.
thanks Yap, I'm always here for you.
Love the trailer... what's going on inside;-) Can't wait to see the liquor store... oops did I say too much?
Love your work and the trailers in particular. I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and have been wanting to paint a trailer series for a long time. Finally started. These wonders are definitely going by the wayside. I was taking photos of a park a few weeks ago and a lady ran out in a panic. She thought i was from a developer who was going to buy and tear down that place. That had already happened to her once before
