This was my first painting. In light of the untimely demise of my wonderful red beetle this past spring, I have renamed this in her honor. Please forgive me, Mr. Salinger (is it plagiarism if I spell the name different? And don't add the squalor?). Esmie is greatly missed and has been replaced with a baby blue convertible VW Bug, but she will always be remembered. And I have Esmie's vase in the new car (Gypsy Rose Lee... she likes to drive with her top down!) Back to the painting. People have seen this painting hanging over my sofa for years and suddenly will realize that it is cars, not just an abstraction of my favorite color pallette.

For Esmie, with love
