They protect me from listening to the horrendous health problems, and the corresponding drugs that are supposed to help, commercials.<br />When I saw this one the other day, my first thought was; my, my how plein air painting has grown in popularity to the point that one could expect to sell cars with it as a theme.<br />Baby-boomer painters are 'everywhere'.<br /><br />Bill (long time Subaru owner, and painter)Bill Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14574281497234362021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-1879706443278493082013-06-04T21:06:13.095-04:002013-06-04T21:06:13.095-04:00I loved this commercial!

As a longtime Subaru owner AND and an artist, this one really hits home for me. <br /><br />And, I can attest to the truth of this commercial, living in northern Michigan where there are lots of scenic places to paint that may be hard to get to otherwise.

He said they needed a landscape painter to do paintings that would appear in a Subaru commercial about a guy who used his Subaru to travel to remote locations to sketch. As often happens in TV they pulled out at the last minute saying they were changing the tone of the artwork they wanted to use.<br /><br />I'm so glad my work was deemed inappropriate for it :)Nathan Fowkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655333943075965232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-56699860365108075652013-06-02T17:06:55.160-04:002013-06-02T17:06:55.160-04:00What Tom Hart said!What Tom Hart said!Janet Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15211855672690293121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-29574356253870364132013-06-02T16:20:51.596-04:002013-06-02T16:20:51.596-04:00This is so sweet and I want one of those easels MO...This is so sweet and I want one of those easels MOST desperately!Karen Eadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14753033021426186635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-76627944338421500032013-06-02T14:02:09.235-04:002013-06-02T14:02:09.235-04:00I can't believe she didn't realize she had...I can't believe she didn't realize she had hung that painting upside down.

This is my third Subaru since 1987. The type of four wheel drive they have makes a winter trip to Michigan's upper peninsula or Canada less intimidating.
