The Perils of Painting a Truck
Man, I had a heck of a time with this truck painting.
This is a photo of an old truck from Corrales.
I hate lines. And perspective. And composition!
I don't like to grid anything.
I hardly like to sketch anything.
But when I'm faced with a building or a vehicle,
I freak out.
And I don't want to figure out all of those little
details that make a painting spectacular.
I just want to record my feelings and memories about
my subject immediately using the biggest brushes I can.
I will probably paint this old truck a few more times
this week.
I know I can do better.
It does look kind of chunky and whimsical...
Here is the original image:
So now you see what I mean!
After I finished painting the truck, I was determined to create
something using the last of my paints before squeezing
out a new batch.
Since it's almost spring, here is "FONTINA", 10x8" oil:
