“1959 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer” by Beverly Shipko, Oil painting on wood panel, 5 x 7 inches
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
That’s the case with this painting. I was tempted just to post this without saying anything, but I don’t have it in me. However, I will keep this short.
When I look at this painting in person, I feel really happy. In Marie Kondo’s jargon, this sparks joy. And a lot of it.
Why, you may ask? It has such presence, which I hope you can see in the photo. And the whole process of creating this painting was joyful from beginning to end, which is why I spent an extra half day today working on it. After all, you can take the girl out of the Motor City, but you can’t take the Motor City out of the girl.
Back to work. See you tomorrow.
