Art dreaming

These two paintings, watercolors, are souvenirs and more. The first, by Oklahoma artist Sam Sidders of Oklahoma, is of an old Studebacker. You can see a snapshot of one such vehicle in Marlow a few years ago that I took. I bought Sam's watercolor at the Edmond Art show, because my first car was a Stude, and  because I so admire the craft he used to paint it.

The other is a painting that susan bought in Charleston a couple of years ago. it so catches the south and light, but I love its transparency and use of white paper. Both provoke dreams of places and living. Wish I could paint like this.
