In my opinion you are the Norman Rockwell of a special genre and era.
Your paintings are collector items.

Thanks for sharing your talent.

Keep painting as it preserves the past and inspires the future.

Given the exact detail of the '33 Woodie painting, it looks as though the artist painted over the original photo...

Beautiful painting work. Love the Model A one with the kids playing in the old A. The only thing missing is a dog with the kids. Seeing your talent I suspect you have already painted one with a dog.

Wow. Those are pretty awesome paintings. If you do more post them to the barn. We'd like to see them.

Obviously a '33 woody vs a '34. All '33s had black fenders.

You are very talented, keep up the great work, looking forward to more masterpieces.

Joe B. · 09-23-2023, 08:19 AM

First things that caught my eye were the flatter grille and straight looking hood louvers, telling me '34. However, as there are at least 65 differences, I'm probably wrong. Black fenders were optional in '34. Here's a link, if interested. Woodies were special, so who knows. The '51 woodies used the '49-50 dash. Also the painter has "artistic license". https://www.speedwaymotors.com/the-t...34-fords/30439

I'm pleased at all the comments. I must have known the fenders were black in 2007 when I painted this one. As I understand it, the fender is early '33. I do claim artistic license rather than ignorance.

Thanks

Very nice!

Excellent work! Unfortunately I don't have an artistic bone in my body so I really appreciate it when I see images like these.
