A few months ago I decided that I had reach the end of what I could do with color pencils and that I should try to paint.
The owner of the local art supply shop advised me to paint with oil paints, and since I’ve known this man for years I trusted him.
I didn’t like oil paint.
Not only is it far to complicated with it’s mixing of oil and turpentine. But with it’s drying time of two day it takes for ever to paint a picture.
Thinking that maybe painting just wasn’t my thing I gave it up all together.
But blood is thicker then water.
Lately I have been feeling that I should try if I like painting with watercolors.
But I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something I might not like. So I bought a little child painting set in a toy shop.
This picture isn’t supposed to depict anything. It’s just me playing with different colors.
And loving it.

Drawings of motorcycles and paintings by Deneux Jacques and Mick Mcginty.
Here is somebody who is really drawn to 20th century motorcycles (pardon the pun).
Deneux Jacques has a very nice set of ink and watercolors.

Mick Mcginty has a nice collection of paintings of landscapes and other odds and ends.

Describing the art work of Stephen Magsig (painting), Michael Pieczonka (painting) and Rod Buckle (drawing and painting).
Searching the Web for artsites I come across a fair amount of daily painters. Usually they are people with good paintings skills but not that much imagination. Almost all of them paint still lives of apple and pears.
But not the site Postcards from Detroit from Stephen Magsig.
Stephen lives and works in Detroit and fills his site with painted highlights of this city.
Although painted with oil his painting look almost as though they were drawn. With an eye for detail.

City Reflections by Stephen Magsig
Michael Pieczonka also paints with oil. His subject are both buildings and ships. His painting feel as the traditional oil paintings. Much attention for color and less for shape.
Rod Buckle draws and paints with ink and watercolor. His subject matter is diverse. Buildings, nature, old air planes and a few paintings of people at work.
Some of his drawings are sketches. Others are very nice watercolor paintings. Some with a great eye for detail, some with a lot of attention for color.
