Dump Truck
Another painting from the old mine/ truck museum in Jerome Arizona. Not sure if it has enough background context around it to give it the massive size it is.
Oil on wood 18x26

Here is a painting by Jason Seiler I had commissioned for Christmas. Sharon and I are thrilled with it. He did a seamless blend of caricature and Old Dutch master painting. The best part is looks just like him, a feat since all birds look alike. Have a look at his bolg he’s amazingly talented, the link is about 19 links down in my link column to the right.

Great work!
Post-Merry Christmas & Pre-Happy New Year!
There are many things I like about this painting, Bill. Really dig that light behind the rear tire. The edgework all over is really nice. I don't see a lot of the underpainting showing through in this one. Although it looks like you went light blue as a base for some of the painting.
Hope you had a great Christmas, Bill. And wishing you a wonderful, prosperous new year.
Mooky look'n mooky - Jason did this feathered friend justice and then some. Truck painting impressive, imposing, and pretty damn fine.. excellent way to close out the books for '09.
Both paintings are just awesome. It would be hard to show the scale - but I think you've done great just as is.
Is Mookie an African Grey? What a clever painting - quite unique and a wonderful way to capture the personality I'll bet!
Thank you Bill . . . very honored and happy that you both enjoy the painting!!!! And of course your painting of the truck is beautiful as well!
african greys are amazingly smart birds aren't they?
They say imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery.
If I could I would cuz you good!
Happy New Year Bill!
Jason, that painting is funny!
(Because it's true!)
Happy New Years Too!
Your sense of color is always a treat to look at.
William!
Your work always uses dingy, grayed-out colors so well!
Happy New Year to you!!

CV yes Mookie is an AG and smart as he is parnoid.
thanks Again Jason hopefully you won't get buried in pet requests.
ZSL yes to smart!
Copy all you want Bill, I'm here for you.
thanks Joe and Dean! Happy new to all- a better '10
Very cool, Bill. Jason is indeed a real talent!
re Dump Truck: the "massive" definitely comes through! That was my first thought, just looking at the thumbnail. Brooding and menacing and foreboding mood. Great bit of variety to add to your dry/hot palette.
Hey Will- Are or were you a member of wetcanvas at one time? I recognized your name from years ago- but can't place it- Was looking htrough some of your older posts and they look like ones i saw there- anyways- love the work- the way you capture light with muted colors
