'29 FORD AA C Cab

   I painted this truck twice, this is the 6x8 version done a little looser than the 6x6 done later. This is when trucks had a whole bunch of character. They weren't muscle, or sleek, or fast, but they got the job done and you could fix them with a pair of pliers and some bailing wire.

PINK DUMP TRUCK

     What can I say? It's a Pick Dump Truck.

ORANGE 4X4

   When Carol and I was walking into the Gold King Mine, one of the guys who works there told us that they had a couple new trucks on the lot. This Orange 4x4 tow truck was one of them. I couldn't resist the design elements of the front grill, the huge tires, and of course the color.

This is Carol setting up to paint the yellow bed dump truck.

     Carol recently downsized her back pack. She also switched from the Compact size Plein Air System to the MINI size. So now Carol and Jennifer McChristian are both using the Mini Plein Air System. (Art Box and Panel)

Slide Rock

     I have been very busy with my "Coulter Plein Air System" business this past month. I think that it started warming up back East and everyone came out to paint, and play golf, etc. I was able to get away for a few days to meet with my friend Carol Marine and her friends to paint for a couple days up in Sedona/Jerome area. I've been trying out some new materials with my outside painting and this one came out with an almost abstract quality.

This is a photo of Carol Marine and I at Slide Rock in Sedona, AZ.

  

WHITE TRUCK

   This sort of immaculate white baby really stood out in a truck lot of hundreds of old rusted beat up relics. It was also make differently; It was skinny and tall with a couple of wide fenders and a huge black bumper.

GREEN CRANE TRUCK

   This was the last truck in the row of "Snub Nose Dodge" and "Long Nose International". It had a funny look to it because of the huge crane in the bed of a somewhat small truck (in relationship to the crane). It looked like the crane had been used for many years though.

LONG NOSE INTERNATIONAL

     This is the second truck in the line up, right behind the "Snub Nose Dodge". This truck had an incredibly loooong front end! The engine in this thing must have been a monster of it's time.
