This old truck sits in the field by the driveway of the farm right next to the Knowles Studio where I work. I have been watching it weather away, outside my window for several years now, thinking I should paint it some day......Well....the day arrived...For some unknown reason I was inspired to paint the old truck. I took my easel outside and did the pencil drawing, took some color notes and photos and this is the result.16x20 oil on canvas sold
The sketch was 12x16, but since I didn't have a canvas that size I painted it on a 16x20 and added the foreground.....what the heck...
An excellent job. I really like your placement of the truck high in the composition and the cow/steer in the background.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. I love this painting. I also love painting old trucks and cars.
ReplyDeleteHi Patrice! Thanks! Ya, I didn't originally plan to place it so high in the composition...... but it works!
