"HEADING OUT" original oil painting


For me it was like finding a long lost friend.  This painting was lost in the shuffle of a galleries inventory, when the relation ended this painting reappeared and was shipped back to me.  Yes I to am at blame for not keeping closer tabs, but, it all has a happy ending, I got my baby back and can re-introduce it.  This painting came about from me being on a road at the right time.  I was heading back to California when out of the corner of my eye I saw this red pickup coming down a dusty road, I slowed letting him get in front, as the truck entered into my lane I was excited to see the pillbox air-stream in tow, reached for my trusty camera, took one shot knowing my next painting was locked inside...  This is an oil on canvas 36x24 and will be "unless sold" in my summer show where I know it will find a home.

It's beautiful, very clean watercolor like quality. I'm not sure I would have returned it if I were the gallery, I think I would just have sent you the money. It's a keeper! Love your work, you are so lucky to have so much talent and the perseverance to follow it through. Thanks for sharing your work with all of us spectators through this blog. E

Just got back from J. Christopher's resturant in Macon, GA where I saw this in the hallway. Came home and immediately Googled you to find out more about your artworks. Definitely a new favorite!
