History Larry Watson Discusses His Creations...

Watson wasn't a painter, he was an artist.

 

I was luckily enough to know Larry in his later life. And he remembered every car, every paint job, every color mix and would spend hours talking of them.
I would love to have this video on quality DVD instead of this low quality utube,,,, Roger????

 

Thanks for sharing this, and keeping the legacy of Larry Watson going

 

Larry's work is obviously performed by an artist of note. Thanks for this.

 

I somewhat remember this video being posted right here on the H.A.M.B.

Yep, sho nuff:

• Some Barris Cars Had Bad Luck! (August 22nd 2011)
  
  
• VIDEO: Custom Cars Painted by Larry Watson in the 1950s (May 23rd 2012)
• VIDEO: Custom Cars Painted by Larry Watson in the 1950s (October 7th 2012)
  
  
• lime or lite green flames on forest green car. (October 15th 2012)
  
  
• Larry Watson's Personal Photo Collection (November 26th 2012)
  
  
• Kustoms blues? I need to see some kustoms.... (April 21st 2015)

 

I think it's interesting he started all that in high school and high school cars were featured in magazines. I'd like to see more detail on every car in the video. Real history. I love it.

Oh man! What a great history lesson. Thanks.

 

He also had an agreeable voice to listen to, does not get boring or annoying.

 

Mr Watson did a great job of documenting his many paint jobs. His personal picture archive is really impressive. I believe that it is located over on the Rik Hoving Custom Car Chronicle site.
Great talent and a true artists imagination.....
