Car Wash

Thanks to Lynn Ponto-Peterson, I found a great car wash!  Of course, I haven't washed my car since June.  But if I did, this is where I'd want to do it.

"Car Wash" is 3"x4" Acrylic and Pencil on watercolor board

haven't seen Finding Nemo, but I like this carwash. Very fun colors and shapes!

finding nemo is one of my favorite movies, and I'm not remembering a car wash scene... maybe shark tale? lots of car washing there ("whale wash"). beautiful painting, either way!

Thank you ladies! Kellie - remember where they all worked at the car wash that was really a whale tooth wash? I have to go watch the movie again now...

So I've cleaned up after Nester so I had some time to come to the gallery of Deb! This is wonderful. You even make car washes look fabulous! Love it.
Great work.

I haven't seen one of these with shampooers for the interior before! I think I want to wash my car here too! So very well done, Deb. I find myself interested in the light in this one. What an amazing job you have done yet again. No surprise there, but awe inspiring for sure!

Love this painting. My car needs washed also. Thanks for the tips on my blog about griding within a grid to get better detail, that is probably the best tip I got all year.

Gorgeous nostalgic feel to this Deb. I saw it and thought of you instantly. Your rendering of this is absolutely perfect. You have guts, all those tiny details scared the heck out of me :) You are rocking girl, an inspiration to me for sure.

3" x 4"?! You packed a lot into a very tiny space! I haven't washed my car since summer either. I've decided to think that the dirt and salt is a protective coating :)

I just love when things are repeated or all in a row so I find this pattern very interesting.

I love the painting you posted on FPDP today. A military hero.
