Permanent Parking -a plein air painting from La Verne Heritage Park

oil 9x12 inches magnify/purchase info Here's a plein air piece I did yesterday. I think this is an old citrus hauler. I was told by one of the volunteers that it's a 1938 and has 180 thousand miles on it all within the city of La Verne. I don't know a thing about vehicles except how to drive them, which I enjoy very much! This one won't start anymore. Lost all it's power, but gained a lot of character.

Plein Air At La Verne Heritage Park

"Back Porch Laundry"

This little nostalgic scene captured my interest right away. My grandmother had a washtub and ringer on her back porch in Arkansas. When I was little I watched my mother pull clothespins out of a bag and hang all our laundry on a line. The laundry days of the past were so different! I really enjoyed painting this scene.

It was plein air day at La Verne Heritage Park. Lots of history there and plenty of subject matter. I painted these rusty relics looking slightly down at them from a hill under a shady tree. What a quiet peaceful morning...cool and breezy, cloudy but no rain.
