Another One??? Really??

This painting for sale.  6x8 $15
You love it, you know you do, you can't wait to see the next old, decrepit car sitting in a field.  Well, your wish is my command.

To be honest, I'm not completely sure what car this is, but I'm sure its pretty old.  Its got a lot of weeds growing around it, and it looks like one of its tires has fallen off.  It's got a yellow license plate, obviously out of date.  Hmmm who could have had yellow plates back in the day?  Well, it really doesn't matter.  The car has found a nice home under an old tree.  Hope nobody totally forgets about this old car.

This one, and yesterdays, are the first old cars I have really done with any color (other than rust).  It got me thinking, how come I don't see more color on old cars.  After doing a little research I found that most cars like the ones I paint have a fair amount of paint on them.  I've just been so focused on the rust, I neglected to see it.  So, from now on, when I paint an old car or truck, I'm gonna do a better job of incorporating some of the cars paint.  That doen't mean there wont be a fair amount of rust, but there is definately gonna be a bit more color.

Hope you enjoy this little painting.  I had a ball painting it.
