Haha Tonka Sky


Here's a favorite place of mine -- the ruins of the Haha Tonka castle overlooking the Lake of the Ozarks near Camdenton, Mo. A Kansas City businessman began construction of the castle in 1905. He was killed in a traffic crash in 1906. His sons completed construction of the castle in the late 1920s. The family used it as a vacation home and later as a hotel before it burned in 1942.

57 Dreams

I have a thing about old cars, especially those like this '57 Chevy hardtop, sitting patiently, waiting to come back to life. I had a '57 way back when. I don't know where it is now, but it was one of those projects I never got around to doing. I smashed up the right rear quarter pretty bad in a wreck and quit driving it. My dad helped me get another car and eventually sold the '57 to somebody who was going to restore it. What might have been? 18x24 acrylic on canvas Original is sold. Prints available: $75 each Email me if interested.
