Amongst the Tires, 196


Another rusty Ford for the collection headed to NC later this month. Happier with this one this morning than I was last night. Switching gears to signage and advertising to round out the bunch... I may have more than 20 to take, that would be great... sometimes it pays to just paint instead of count.

  1. Love the color, composition, and rust bits on this one. The realistic tree in the background gives more of a sense of abandoned farm yard. I agree with you about the previous post. I was wondering if the foreground were done in that deeper purple/black in the headlight to really make the van pop, and leave it loose and not detailed. Always hard to know why something doesn't feel right!

  2. P.S. I meant the grill, not the headlight:)

  4. This is amazing! The feel of this painting is wonderful. I love vintage. The rust and the colors you used make this painting pop.
