ANTIQUE TRUCK HAS A HOME
I tried several different ideas for a background for the truck, and finally decided to put it in front of an old gas station that , once upon a time, was situated in Langley, just off Glover Road. When trying to google map it, I found it had been torn down, so I had to resort to looking for reference photos on the net.
I did a free-hand sketch, traced it behind the car, and ... voila!
Finished the gas station, then decided the truck needed a bit more oomph. I darkened the tires and undercarriage, glazed over the green of the body, and I do believe it's done. I think I'll have this matted, and show it in a glassine pouch for a show I am in next month.
Wow, that came out wonderful! Good luck with the show.
ReplyDeleteThe background couldn't be more perfect! Love it♥
