Louis L’Amour
Rural Fire Truck
16″ x 20″ Acrylic on Canvas
I have really been struggling with this painting. I am not used to painting so large and when I mess up, I mess up BIG! It’s the sky. I have repainted it 3 times and I’m not sure about it this time either. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. No really… I can take it!
I set it into a frame to see if it would help. It’s not actually framed or even signed yet.
About Louis L’Amour
Louis L’Amour, the author known for his pulp westerns, wrote more than 100 novels in his lifetime. Born in North Dakota in 1908 as Louis LaMoore, he worked across the southwestern U.S. on a string of backbreaking jobs including longshoreman, elephant handler, and cattle skinner. He saw his writing as akin to telling tales by a campfire and wanted to be remembered simply as a good storyteller. He won the Medal of Freedom in 1984 and died in 1988.

I love it, the sky works for me. I also love the quote... a good one to keep in mind
Thanks so much, Helen! It is a good quote, isn't it.
