Feed Wagon

    Gone are the days of having to go to town on a wagon, pulled by mules, to do any type of business.  today it is more convienent to jump in the truck, turn a key, put it in gear and mash the gas.  back then you had to catch the mules, put on the harness, sit in the cold and smell the gas.  I still think back then was better.  Visit charlessims.webs.com

Looking Beyond

     In 2004, I did a fantasy drawing of an archway overlooking a waterfall.  The drawing was pen and ink.  A few days ago a watercolorist named Warren Thompson took the drawing and added color to it.  I think that he did a wonderful job. Visit charlessims.webs.com to view other artwork.

Eagle in Flight

     I have painted many eagles on turkey feathers, but this is my first attempt on canvas.  The size is 10x16 inches and is painted with oil paint.  Please visit charlessims.webs.com to view other art by me.

Blue Chevy Pickup

    You never know what you will find when you head off down a dirt road in southeast Alabama.  This old house was boarded up with plywood, part of the chimney broken off and furniture left on the porch.  At one time this was a nice family home, much different from the one that I was born in.  This house was still in pretty good condition, compared to some that I have seen.  Those have the roofs fallen in, the porches laying down in front and part of the floor missing.  The truck was in what shape, no one knows.  I do know that the back left wheel was missing.

Rooster on Turkey feather

Not to often do you see a rooster painted onto a turkey's small tail feather.  I had a hard time getting this one to stand still long enough to paint this on his butt.  Please visit charlessims.webs.com to view this and other types of art, including wood carvings.

Number Twenty Three

This is a painting that I did several years ago.  I don't know the name, but he played for the city of Eufaula, Alabama. The panel is plywood painted with oil paint.  I am not a baasketball fan, but thought that this would make a good painting.
