Distressed ... the Painting, Not Me

Photo taken from this year's Cruise In

Two photos taken several years ago
Cars "parked" in a field
A distressingly-painted car


I liked the photo I took this year, but realized it would be almost impossible to decipher all the shadows and reflections, and their sources. So I decided to wing it, and paint the car as an old timer, rusting happily in a field. Hurray [or "huzzah"] for the concept of artistic license.

  4. I love subjects that show signs of rusting. How peaceful must it be for the car to not try to look its best and still have admirers.
    I cant wait to see this one finished.
    Best wishes,
