"Old Snowy Truck"
When I look at this piece, I smile. I love snow and the way the sun is shining straight through the truck... it just makes me so happy. First I find myself looking at the snowy fender then my eyes stare at the window and the sun. Next I find myself wondering about where this old truck is parked and the scene it gets to enjoy. Lastly it makes me wish I was there... walking through the snow with the sun shinning on my back. I guess that's where the smile comes from :)

I created this old truck because I was just learning watercolor and I was choosing my second project. My friend had showed me a reference that I kinda liked and then later decided to use it for this project. I wasn't completely sure about it at first but after lightening the truck up a bit and using my newly learned techniques, I grew to really like it. After doing this project, I learned how much I love painting cars.
