Today I started painting my 1984 Pontiac Sunbird Convertible. It reminds me a little bit of Austin Powers’ VW Beetle Convertible from the movie. I still have a lot more work to do on it… finish the sides, rear, the interior and the top! So stay tuned for updates!

Three photos of my new Sunbird before it gets its custom paint… Stay tuned for Cook County’s next ART CAR!

This is one of two paintings I did today on my cabana porch. I just think this is funny. The red lady to the right (I think her name is Martha) and the Tiki man to the left. This reminds me most of when Madeline was a baby and we took her to a Luau in Las Vegas. We had gotten cheap tickets to it on the airplane, and we ended up sitting very far from the stage, and had to stand in long lines to get food. It was miserable. Not at all like the Luau the Brady’s went to in Hawaii. That would have been awesome. This painting also conjurs up images of Disney World’s Tiki Room for me.
