"Put Out to Pasture" by Rebecca Jennings

They were beautiful once, too...

I loved these old trucks I found in some fields near Sandy Lake. As I painted, I have been thinking about the work they did, the places they have gone, the condition of the roads that took them on their journeys, and the weather they endured. I wondered about blown tires, if the heater always worked, or if they had a heater at all, and did the wipers always work??

I have one more I am doing for this set and will post upon completion
Thanks for viewing!

To see more of my work go to "Sunny's Studio" at http://atsunnysplace.blogspot.com

I love the coloring on these trucks, especially No.1 and how you "cradled" them in the tall grasses--amazing how beautiful and nostalgic old things can be.

I also love the color in the truck - so much character. Beautiful!

These are great Sunny. Nice loose feeling.

The soft, warm colors are what struck me, too - the paintings look like they were "lovingly" renedered.

Thank you Ladies! Julie, I am really putting effort into "loosening up". I hope to accomplish that.
