ARROW 2 UP CLOSE 22x30"

ARROW 2  REFLECTIONS 18x24"SOLD

I finally finished the last 2 of 6 homages to the old pilot tug Arrow no. 2. She is being replaced by a new, just built, all steel tug. These last two are of the Arrow at dock in front of the Brix Marine office in Astoria Oregon. Used to be Foss marine(or do I have that backwards?) No matter. She's a beautiful old working tug with lots of stories and scars.As of the last visit to the docks she was still there alongside the new tug so maybe they will continue to use her for a while.

BUMPER CARS

6" x 6"acrylic on gessoboard.....................$100


CLICK TO BUY

I don't know what got into me but I suddenly wanted to paint the old bumper cars. They are a landmark in my home town. I might do a couple. I can hear the bell ring and the grinding-whirring noise as they skoot around the metal floor. Lots of screaming and laughing and the bang! of the collision. After all these years the same old cars in the same location every day in the summer...Seaside Oregon...what a place!
