Art & Inspiration †††††Friday Art Show 09-23-2016†††††

I start this week show with a heavy heart. If you pray, do so for the family of HAMB member Ron Hickman, Holly Hickman and all those closest to them. Rest in peace Ron.



My contribution this week, a sketch inspired by a car at the Hot Rod Hill Climb, last week end.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with Ron's family as well.

Here is a old style B&W that I did of him at the Hot Rod Dirt Drags in 2015 - Just loved the joy on his face in this image:

And here is a more recent piece, from the Hot Rod Hill Climb this past weekend - Bobby Bleed in his roadster:

Mark/Jigger - Very nice work. Bummed I didn't meet you this past weekend, didn't know you were up this way.

 

D’OH!!!
I was hanging out with the hooligans from Michigan and my wife. I would have loved to had the opportunity to meet Mike. We will be back!

 

RIP Ron ............

 

My thoughts are with them as well. Mark and Mike - it was great seeing both of you and meeting you Mark in person finally.
Here are a couple Hot Rod Hill Climb pics from me though I'm not very far along with them.


And here is the subject of your sketch Mark, though I don't consider this a very artistic shot.

 

Stunning!

 

I love this!

 

RIP

 

...another board I did for a customer...of his stock cars and a 55...

 

I am so sad to here of Ron's passing. My prayers, for his family and friends. I really though that he would be alright, but that it would be a long road to recovery. He was a great Dad, Granddad, and Hot Rodder. He will be missed. If I knew, I would have tried to draw his Roadster. I did a sketch of the dog dinner. It looked better in my head, than on paper. Thanks, to everyone for your all your art work. Its a sad F.A.S. just like last weeks. Ron...

 

"Ye Olde Hot Rod Shoppe" and "All Couped Up" a couple of my photos processed into sketches.

 

To me the lines on a Merc. are Art.

 

On a Happier note. I became a Granddad again this week. The best art photo! Ron...

 

Nice work!

Here is my meager contribution: "Sunset over Washington Blue"

 

I was saddened to hear that Ron didn't pull through.
My thought's too, are with his family and friends.
Another rendition of an A roadster that is styled similar to Doane Spencer's '32.
Did I say I love this rod?

 

Two of our community in the last two weeks. Sad.
The tributes that you guys have done are great. Thanks for caring.
Later,
Dick

 

rusty1, like the grain color in that one, gives a "rusty" effect. Very nice.

A couple of saw blades the wife did.

 

Rest in peace Ron.

 

Outstanding captures Dan ...........

 

Congrats ..............

 

It’s pretty low res but go for it!

I debated whether to include the watermark/logo or not. I went with it, not as self promotion, rather, as a way to let the family know I was with them all the way. With all due respect and humility.
