Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder


One of my favorite things about living in Oaxaca is the oversupply of ancient beat-up slag heaps that were cars in a former life. Let's just say they have a lot of character.
I saw this '74 Dodge Dart today, at rest a couple blocks from my house, and had to paint it. I sat on the sidewalk and struggled to capture it as an earnest young man stopped and amiably chatted with me, destroying my already fragile focus.
Still, a bit of this old heap's character shines through.

The painting above is titled Classic Ruins. It's a 12" x 9" acrylic on canvas. $175 includes shipping & insurance via DHL. Takes two days.

Interested parties can email me.
