Road Warrior Redux

Road Warrior, 24x24

SOLD

I'm building, albeit rather slowly, a body of larger work, taken from smaller plein air and studio pieces I've done in the past. The original study for the piece above is from a paintout we had several months ago at the Davis Ranch out Hamilton Pool Road in the Hill Country. Below is the original 6x6.

Having never tried one, I've been keeping an eye out for an old vehicle to paint, and yesterday's PAA paint-out at the Davis Ranch offered several good choices. Besides the other vehicles, there were countless beautiful landscapes to paint on this ranch, which raises Texas Longhorn cattle. I hope to go back out there sometime soon to paint from the "natural world," but on this visit I couldn't pass up this amazingly expressive old road construction truck. It's as if it were relating to me its many stories the entire time I stood before it.
