Okay, before I go trying to keep up with the "Jones's" I wanna acknowledge a few year end staples. First, thanks to all the wonderful artists who add to the great diversity of this unique forum. The number of styles, the breath of experience and the passion of each and all is what makes this such a cool group to be associated with!

ZOMBIE,Bernie, Ger, Jason Tingler ( and a few others ) where you be? Hope you're having a great holiday season...
jdustu, The coupe is too cool, Josh and the robot is a crack up!
Bob, love the 'Vette, that is almost the quintessential color combos and would be on my top, say 15, of all cars. You've done well and I dig the photo rendering. You sure that's not your wife?
fortypickup, Neal, I love the low slung roadster and, as far as the gremlins go ...
I'd have to stomp on the little bastards...
1320Paul sweet work as usual sir.

Tod Jones, thanks for the comment and thanks for the review of the awesomeness from the Jones'ster locker...

Bo, love the image and the behind the scenes info...
Chevy II killer Stove Bolt!
Neo Dutch, beautiful work sir!
RodP, fun stuff, well done!
Clysdale, Dave, the year would have been incomplete without your contributions, great stuff, all!

Great snaps Ken, hope your doing well and that 2012 brings you much fruitfulness! Cricky, that Yellow RPU is a real beauty, mate! (To kinda quote the late Steve Erwin.)

Happiest to you too Norwell! Man, I said it before, that 'baby' can sure fly!! Just like 2011 did...

krome, Great shots! Love the roadster... Hey, you too Slim!!!
Joshua Shaw, nice work...

Well, thanks Dave, I actually posted earlier today and am now overindulging, being it's the New Year's week end and I don't plan on getting tanked on the bubbly or other holiday spirits...

Great work from everyone again this week! Been a bit busy with everything not related to artwork, so this is just a recap from me as well. The 1st one is a reworking of Evening in Europe (kinda like these colors better) . The last one , "Wallride " is sort of car related.

 

One more version of "SMILEY". A work up for a shirt. Now he is going on the dash of my '59 El caminoooooooo

 

Thanks for all the kind words you guys. Have a safe New Year.
Slim

Thanks for the kind words fellers!

Nice work all!

Welcome newbies!

Happy New Year!!!!!

 

some awesome work,thanks and Happy New Year !!!!!!

 

Well I have been out the last week and a half and I need to get back to this painting. Just thought I would throw it in the show anyway. This is just the start of the painting and I should have it done hopefully by next fridays art show. Still have a long way to go on it and it should look much different next week.

You will have o wait till 2012 for the final. Hopefully I can create lots of artwork in the coming year, if that's alright with all of you.
