This is a 9" x 12" oil painting, painted from a photo I took in Salado, Texas. We were eating lunch at the local BBQ joint, and this truck was parked in a front yard across the street. We all thought it had alot of character. Actually, the whole town has alot of character. This is my second painting of an old truck, and I must say it is not getting easier. The next truck I paint is going to be on a larger canvas. The smaller canvas forces me to paint in details and use smaller brushes, pushing me out of my comfort zone. But, that is o.k. Small, medium or large....doesn't matter what size the canvas is, it is how the paint is applied, the whole process I go through, and the end results that counts.

This painting is framed and hanging up at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. If you have time, please go see the show. Thanks for viewing my blog!
