I am critical of this in many ways, but thought I’d post it for entertainment’s sake. Obviously I’m not a realist artist. I’ve self-taught myself over the years and go through phases where I can’t paint enough. I first learned to tole paint from instruction books in my 20’s. That evolved over the years to different styles. I went through a rock painting phase, then I went through a phase where I painted things I found in thrift stores to fix them up. Then I tried my hand at trading card paintings. Those I painted with the preference of bold colors and whimsy and used the skills I learned from tole painting. Now I’m addicted to impressionism and doing my best to learn it. It seems so simple, but it’s difficult when I’ve been painting a certain way all my life.
Anyway, here is the painting. I sort of like it but sort of don’t. My dad had so many muscle cars when I was growing up and I LOVE them. I think that’s why I don’t care for this painting – because it doesn’t do the 68 Charger justice. But it’s different and resembles a 68 Charger, lol. It looks more like a cartoon, which I was not trying to do, hahahahaha. I kept trying to fix it and after numerous hours I gave up to this result.
This can be purchased as a print here.
All my current paintings are listed on eBay as auctions. To see what’s available at this time, click here.
The Charger looks good. All the best with selling your paintings on eBay, I have never to do that with mine.

My first husband had a 68 charger, my first stick! Sounds like my painting career, although I never entered a rock painting phase, I think I have painted my way through a lot of stuff in my life still trying to find “my” medium or some real technique, talent, or just stick what I do best and that’s appreciate the beauty in all art and marvel at the artist’s eye! Impressionism is also my favorite and your Charger jumps from the page!

What a way to learn to drive a stick!! I love the 68 Charger – my dad had a gorgeous gunmetal grey one back when I was a teenager (late 70’s). I wonder if it’s normal to go through all the different phases to find our medium or style. I’m thinking it probably is, or our preferences change over the years. I do enjoy it even though I can get frustrated with the process. Thank-you for stopping by and commenting!
