The one that got (thrown) away...

     6x6"                                 Rusty               acrylic on canvas

The other day I tried to paint the truck below. I sanded and restarted that board three times... aaarrh.   I just couldn't get the scale/angle right; finally threw it away.  I'm pretty sure the board was jinxed :-)
Today I painted this fun rusty old green pick-up (above) that shows up here and there around San Rafael. While originally it was the old truck that I was drawn to,  the van on the right ended up being the most exciting to paint.  It was a new challenge figuring out how to create the reflections. The painting is actually a little sharper than this photo. I need to reshoot it.
