Old Dodge

This painting for sale. 6x9  $15

This isn't a picture I planned on posting this week.  I had been working on this at home and had been taking my time doing it.  For some reason, I brought it into work with me, and then felt compelled to finish it here.

I've do this with just about every painting I do, and I thought I might share with you all.  My friend, Bob Ross, always says to make up a story about what it is that you are  painting.  When you do this, you will create a better connection to the picture.

This car is obviously sitting on a plain somewhere,  I imagine it is South Dakota.  The summer is gone, fall is in there air.  There hasn't been much rain for the past several months and the grasses are going dormant just before winter sets in.  Here the car sits, just rusting away out in a field.  Probably there are animal trails all around it.

Well, for what it is, here it is.  Hope you all enjoy it.

Here is what I am working on

Just  little preview.  I've begun working on my next painting.  No, I don't really want to be known as the painter of trucks, but I don really like old trucks.  I apologize for the greying of this picture.  My scanner bed is just a bit too small for the size of paper that I paint on.  Where it comes off the glass, a little greying appears.  The further away fromt he glass, the more grey.  I might blue this up a bit more, though I really like the way it looks right now.  I'm also considering doing the background in sepia tone.  My hope would be that it would really make the truck stand out.  I've still got all the shadowing to do on the truck too.  Hopefully next time you see this truck you will see the WOW Factor.  Enjoy
