This painting - "Rusty and Red, Retired," is the latest lesson for the watercolor class in Wapakoneta. They know that, periodically we have to have our old truck fix,(or at least I do!) so here is the latest.
The source photo came from an internet friend, with permission of course, and the painting is 9" x 12" , painted on Canson 140 lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper with mostly Holbein watercolors.
I used a generous amount of salt on this one, perhaps too much, but I wanted to give the impression/illusion of overgrowth/weeds, trees, etc.

It is beautiful, Barb!! You are fabulous with these old vehicles. Love the glint of light on the inside of the window frame on the open door.
Hi Sherry - Thanks so much for the encouragement. Hope you have a great weekend!
I sense this old truck could talk, Barb! Love the contrasting headlights. It gives this old truck a face and some character.
