Austin-Healey

During the 1950s-60s Austin Healeys were extremely popular among sport car enthusiasts.
They are still popular!

However, they are a lot more pricier than they were when brand new.

This particular Healey was captured in Newport, Oregon. And, I have no idea what year or model.

Guessing, it is a series 100-6, circa 56-59.

I personally had a 1954 which I restored. It had a small engine compared to the newer models but, it was still a ball to drive.

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining three different exposures to give the image more detail and color. Texture was added for a unique final image!

The Showboat

The "Showboat" is really a house boat moored in Toledo, Oregon which is seven miles east of Newport on the Oregon Coast. She sits on the Yaquina River and is colorful to say the least.

Up close, it looks ship shape and ready to sail. Toledo...yes, named after Toledo, Ohio is a cool little mill town and major boat repair place. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

37 Ford Roadster Art

Put the top down and cruise the boulevard in this pristine 1937 Ford Convertible! When this automobile came out, you could have purchased it in the seven hundred dollar range.

Now days, if you wanted to purchase one this nice it would probably be in the seventy thousand dollar range! Anyway, you can get a print of this classic on my website a lot cheaper!

Morrison Bridge Art

The Morrison Bridge is located in Portland, Oregon (PDX)! It is one of many bridges in Portland, which is also known as "Bridge City" because of the many bridges that cross the Willamette River.

What is unique about this capture are the reflections of light coming off of the Morrison Bridge. Usually the water is not this still and it results in very little distortion of the colorful lights, red, yellow, green and blue coming off the bridge.

The Morrison is a basule bridge (drawbridge). This particular capture was taken as a panorama. It picks up almost the entire bridge and part of skyline downtown. However, the focal point of the image is really the light on the water.

Antique Truck Art

This vintage, antique truck was found on a farm in Molalla, Oregon. It was raining and, as you can see there is no cab over the truck.

And, it has probably been sitting in the same spot for years. It definitely has a nostalgic feel!

Three different exposures were taken of the truck and, combined in special software, to end up giving it more dynamic feel...HDR (High Dynamic Range Photography).

Red Chair Wall Art

Along the street, in Bandon's Old Town on the Oregon Coast sits these four red chairs. You are looking west and, near the end of the main street.

Bandon, Oregon is on the Southern Oregon Coast. It easily has the most pristine beaches you will ever run across...devoid of a bunch of people, pollution, noise and, whatever!

The town of Bandon, itself is pristine! The Old Town area, where the red chairs were captured is cool with superb shops, restaurants.

It is during the week and it is about ready to rain so, the tourist are not around. Everything is peaceful! This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Coast Guard City USA Wall Art

The "Coast Guard City" designation was established by Congress in 1998 to recognize cities where the United States Coast Guard are located. In order to qualify for that distinction, that city has to show support for Coast Guard personnel stationed there.

The particular Coast Guard City USA, shown here is in my home town of Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. Newport boasts the biggest fishing fleet in Oregon.

Fisherman go out in the Pacific Ocean in all weather conditions and times. They value the support they get, very whole heartily from the Coast Guard. Especially, when they should get into trouble at sea.

The job of the Coast Guard can be extremely dangerous in high sea rescues. This image has been converted to a digital painting!

Buoys And Crab Ring Wall Art

Buoys intermingled with crab rings! The setting is a bay front on the Oregon Coast early in the morning with the minimum of sunlight.

Fishing boats are preparing to go out and set the crab rings not far from shore in the Pacific. It's a lot of hard work throwing the crab rings overboard and retrieving them hours later.

Every crabber has there own distinctive buoys so that they know who's is what!

1929 Graham - Paige 612

In 1927, the three Graham brothers purchased the Paige-Detroit Motor Company, makers of Paige and Jewett automobiles. They had major success racing cars and they had a reputation for making quality vehicles.

The Graham-Paige shown here is one of them! It is a roadster that has been immaculately restored.

I photographed this at the Concours d'Elegance in Forest Grove, Oregon many years ago. The image has been converted to High Dynamic Range Photography to bring out more color and detail.

I then converted the image to a digital painting!

Willys Overland

This is a 1916 Willys Overland Roadster...a highly modified Willys with a 350 Chevy Engine! This one has a cool yellow and red paint job.

Way back in 1908, a gentleman by the name of John Willys bought the Overland Automotive Division of Standard Wheel Company. In 1912, he renamed it Willys-Overland Motor Company.

For four years,1912 to 1918, Willys was the second-largest producer of automobiles in the United States behind Ford Motor Company. The recession in 1920 did not benefit the Willys Corporation and they struggled until around 1941 when they produced the famous World War 2 Jeep!

Tulip Wall Art

This lonely tulip was located at "The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm" in Woodburn, Oregon. Each year, in the spring they have a festival and, people come from all over to visit their forty acres of beautiful tulips.

At their farm, you will discover that tulips grow in bunches and, are usually of the same color. However, this one was found all by itself among a like bunch of tulips!

The colors are magnificent! The yellow forms super intricate detail flowing through the red forming an usual design.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Little Red Boat!

Newport, Oregon is home to the largest fishing fleet on the Oregon Coast. A fairly easy bar to cross, plus, crabbing and the fishing are among the most plentiful on the coast.

The "Little Red Boat" stood out at the Pier because of its bright red paint. And, it was one of the smallest boats at the dock.

I added texture to give it a painting-like effect.

Field Of Tulips

One of the best tulip farms is in Woodburn, Oregon. It is the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and encompasses some forty acres of stunning and beautiful tulips.

They feature some 117 varieties of tulips. And, it seems that each tulip is a different color. Of course, that is an illusion.

What is not an illusion is this capture. It was made fairly close to the ground and it seems like there are tulips as far as the eye can see.
