Put Out to Pasture - Truck #2

They were beautiful once, too.
"Put Out to Pasture"
Truck  #2
5 x 7 Oil on Canvas board

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!

  1. Another winner in your truck series, Sunny! These old trucks do have pasts...lifetimes...personalities...much like humans.
