Jazz Not War...

This car is parked on a corner in Camden, Maine. Every summer this car shows up as an advertisement for the Hope Jazz Festival. On the other side of the car is the lettering “JAZZ NOT WAR.” I have always wanted to paint this car and finally got to it this year. While painting here I met the car’s owner, who also has a fire engine restoration business out in Hope, Maine. His barn is full of old fire trucks and ladders and water pumps, which may also make it into a few paintings.
