Skin and Bones

This unusual car, or what's left of it is sitting in a lot behind the mining museum in Eureka, Utah along with other rusty remnants of Eureka's mining past.  Luckily someone had written on the cowl what the make is.  I'm a car guy but I don't believe I'd ever heard of a Mitchell, I would have never figured that out on my own!  The year of manufacture is 1918.

Lookin' Back

Another rusty truck painting, at least this isn't a Ford Motor Co. product but rather a 1937 Chevy.  The painting is based on a photo I took at a small local collection that's on public display.

More Rust

Another small painting of a rusty subject.  This time a late 30's Ford heavy duty truck, at least what's left of it.  The reference photo was also taken at the Antique Power Show.  There were a couple other trucks in similar condition in a row with this one as well as other junk piled around. I left out the other trucks and junk and abstracted the background somewhat and this is what I ended up with.

Forest Find

I took a bit of a break, now I'm back and with another small derelict vehicle painting.  This painting is based on a photo I took at the Antique Power Show held at the Erickson Ranch every year in Wallsburg, Utah. The background in the painting is totally invented.  In the real scene a Model A Ford truck and other junk are in the background. What car nut wouldn't love to come across an abandoned 1940 Mercury in the woods and drag it home to restore it?
