I have been sitting on this picture for a while. It was a great, torn up, rusty dump truck. The reference was taken on a cloudy day, so the end result is kind of foggy. next time I am up near Union Point, it better be sunny. I still have more photos of that truck I would like to paint. I enjoyed working large again, I hope to amass enough work for a show by the end of the summer or sooner. Daily painting is great, but bigger is better! I love the colors of this piece, and I really think you can smell the rust on the truck and see the oxidized paint.
I am very inspired by the way you see your subjects...reminds me to be more open minded...
