I love traveling on this Route through Arizona. You get to see plenty of Antique shops and General stores along the way that take you back to those happy memories.
And best of all... those barns that scream with stories..that we only wish we can hear.
What a fun narrative piece, Hilda. Love all those textures! You've done a beautiful job with the three-dimensional form of the car, and your shadow work beneath give it weight and truly "ground" it. Nice job!
Thank you so much Helen. There were many old rusty cars screaming to be painted on Route 66. I have many reference shots that I'll have to paint someday. Have a nice evening...
Très inhabituel et à la fois fantastique ! J'aime beaucoup cette mise en lumière pour cette voiture oubliée... Elle a retrouvé son âme grâce à ton talent. Je ne connais pas cette route ! Il faut que je vienne te voir !... sourire. Les nuances de couleurs sont sublimes. Bravo !
Cher Martin, oui, c'est un bel endroit à visiter. Nombreux magasins, nombreuses galeries à voir. Je suis content que cette peinture vous ait plu, mon ami. Cela signifie beaucoup pour moi. envoyer des câlins,
Hilda, Route 66 has such an allure about it. We were in Winslow, AZ right on Rte. 66 and saw the statue mentioned in the Eagles song.
Your painting is amazing! It is so realistic and truly representative of the odd, old things one finds along that highway. Masterful painting, and the old Shell sign is so appropriate. Makes me smile, my friend!
thank you so much Carol. I'm so glad you liked this painting. It means a lot to me. Traveling on Route 66 is wonderful. We past many shops and galleries.. my favorite, of course, is passing the old interesting farms with the barns in the distance that make you daydream. Definitely a place to visit...
Wow Hilda, this is wonderful!! I'm never likely to get to do Route 66 but I do love old wooden barns, antiques and old cars. This ticks all the boxes for me. The way you've rendered the rust on that old car is outstanding. Love it!!!
I'm so glad you liked this painting, John. I love painting old barns, and antique cars and trucks. Traveling out West gives me the opportunity to take photos and paint them. Thank you for stopping by!
My name is Hilda Muxo Klinger. My passion for art came early.I have always said that I was born with a pencil in one hand and a box of crayons in the other.I am a Bronx born New Yorker who can remember sitting at the kitchen table copying faces that appeared in the newspapers and magazines as a girl.
I am married 53 years and have two daughters and five amazing grandchildren.While I worked and raised my family in East Rockaway, I used art as a form of relaxation, painting here and there. I dabbled with several artistic mediums through the years—everything from pencil to charcoal to oil and it was only after I joined The Parish Social Ministry Art Club in East Rockaway in 2006 that I realized my true passion of pastels.
I studied under Dan Slapo and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a class more than I did with him. He taught me many different techniques in painting a portrait. Working with a live model was so different for me and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to work with this Master of Pastels...He encouraged me to join the Pastel Society and I am now an Associate Member . I am thrilled to say that I have displayed my paintings in Rockville Center Village Art Club and have received several ribbons for my work. Thank you for visiting my blog. I will continue to add my painting in the future and hope you enjoy them as I have enjoyed painting them.

ReplyDeleteThe barn and the old car make a lovely pair! The beauty is we can come up with our own story about them apart from their own. Lovely work Hilda!
