Dear Randy, I have left a comment a few times. I have not received a painting. Soon? You sure love the old vehicles...fits with your wonderful sense of humor. You sure can sweet talk Carol! I like it! This one is very nice but has a differe…
Nice work Randy, love the perspective on this piece. Beautifully painted. Thank you David. It was a chance to do something different. I painted it in one sitting and thought I would go back into it, but decided to leave well enough alone. I…

Hi Randy. Thanks for posting new pics! I have run across a few artists that heavily tone their grounds recently. Karin Jurick (http://karinjurick.blogspot.com/) paints on a black ground. She mainly paints figures in various settings and has…
