apparently simple but very descriptive... I like how you do objects in the same way of the rest of the landscape.
That's absolutely beautiful William, everything I love is here, great painting, and superb vintage cars.
I really dig this. Love the shadows fo the car. :)
I didn't see this one at your studio the other day, I like it. The pink and blue is a nice touch.
fantastic painting man
This is a beauty!....look forward to seeing more from this series.
Love this
Brush or knife?
I think the lighter palatte combined with the 'blight' theme is really an effective contrast.
You seem to have pushed your color up a notch with this beauty. A very fine painting. Reminds a little of a painting by Fairfield Porter of a similar car I once saw.
If you get a chance please check out my paintings of urban scenes and landscapes of San Diego at www.larrygroff.com
Hope to see your work in person sometime soon. Best,
Larry
Love this painting, the sensation that gave me is that I imagine myself being inside the car reading a book and listen to music...don't ask me why :)
Good color harmony.... and what the others said.
I am constantly amazed at your use of color and brush strokes. How DO you do it?
Your cars almost seem to float. Cool.
i love this piece, the cars are beautifull in yours paintings

Beeuteefull!
I always like hopw you can tell there's natural sunlight in there, like you took a little chunk of the sun--no forget I said that, it sounds too fruity.
great one Bill, you and old rusted cars seem to get along well. You should check out this book...Ghosts in the Wilderness (http://www.amazon.com/Ghosts-Wilderness-Abandoned-Tony-Worobiec/dp/1904332080)
It's right up your alley, lots of abandoned stuff in the prairie lands rusting cars etc, very cool stuff!
Hi Bill,
Nice, I love it, I've seen that California.
Oh look! ANOTHER amazing painting. Fantastic!
William,
This is one of your best! I really like your edges and color!
Amazing!
I've been so crazy busy lately it's hard to reply to everyone but I always read the comments and appreciate you all posting.
good grief, that is beautiful
Words fail me in so many ways but your painting succeeds in every way... your work is an inspiration.
