History on Wheels


sold

This one was particularly hard to paint because it was made up primarily of darks - and all subtly different ones. The cool thing about that though is all the sparkles really stand out! I took the photo for this in California. I was driving through a small town with a friend and we happened upon an old car show. Maybe I should start looking around for shows like that, on purpose...

Wow! I love the way the sunlight bounces around all those shiny planes of the truck! And as always I'm intrigued by your treatment of the light through the back windows. SO well done my friend!
