12x16 oil om linen
This is a closed Cement loader that some old cars are parked in. I took the reference photo on one of our rides a while ago and don't remember exactly where it was... my guess is South El Monte. I liked the way the shadows created and interesting graphic shape. This one was fun to do I was tiring for a simple higher key painting and it came right out, no muss no fuss.

I like the different negative shapes in this painting, they keep my eye moving though it. Your demo. at the Orange Art Assoc. was inspiring. It was very instructive seeing your photos and then watching you use them as a loose reference for the painting. Thank you for coming out this way and being the demo. artist for the month!

I really like the light & mood!
Your are the master of these backlit subjects. Top notch as usual.
Inspiring!
Man, those cars look to be in a very precarious situation.
Nice work with those whites.
Thanks Vanderhoek. It was a good group, I had fun. I think the demo was verbally pretty good, the painting itself so -so.
thanks Thor-- I'm keep it for awhile. ;-)
Hey C. Bato is the master, I just try and eat his dust.
thanks S!
brilliant sir bill,
love the high key,
interesting knive work,and mood
I think it turned out nicely. For me, higher-key painting was always hard to pull off.
Looks like among the airy lightness of the painting, a couple of old cars were hoping for some extra cement to end their long lives.
Killer one Bill, Great composition! - James
Hey,Bill! Really like your use of the ochre tone which keeps peeking through here and there.
Beautifully simple composition, the cool shadow colors have a nice variety. I especially liked that one little brushstroke over the wheel-well on that car.
The tones are fabulous, as always, you've really captured the feeling of a very particular time of day. Whenever I try, it just doesn't look right. What's your secret? Great painting!
Nice high key painting Bill... great use of quite vs. active!
J-- LOL!
Thanks artp!
thanks Rob-- I did go a bit crazy with the knife.
BG It might make a fine art peice to drop a load on them...
Thanks James --Means a lot to me.
Like this painting very much.
The light, the composition of the shadows, the colours. Great stuff!
Bato is excellent but your drawing is stronger.
love the color palette on this!
William, kick ass high key color. How do you do that?
