Truck #2

I am drawn to old, rusting vehicles that I spot on my travels. Particularly, I’m attracted to obvious signs of abandonment. Rust, discoloration, flattened tires, missing or broken parts, all provide a richness and texture that catch my attention.  I usally work these subjects from photographs, and emphasize the rendition of the details I just mentioned.  Often the physical signs of abandonment in the photograph also include overgrown vegetation.  Yet,  I choose to depict the trucks in complete desolation, inspired by Dalian landscapes.  18×24″  oil on canvas
