I love painting old pickups.  The rusty, faded colors provide such atmosphere.  Often you'll be driving down a back road and see a truck parked near a barn, garage, motel (as was the case here.)  Sometimes there's an old truck just sitting in the middle of nowhere.  And, jackpots happen when you come upon an old truck junkyard!

This title is thanks to high school friend, Steve Morris.  He posted a comment on Facebook when I posted several truck paintings as part of the 3 paintings in 5 day challenge.

Holiday Price $395.00
SOLD

My normal price for this size is $495.00.  From now until the end of December I'm offering this for a holiday discount.  Although it wouldn't get to you before Christmas.

I spotted this pickup east of Colorado Springs, on the side of a road near an old ranch.  I loved how it was sitting there as if the rancher had stopped once to tend to something, but then never got back in.

I often get my titles from poems and/or songs.  For this piece I googled "poems about trucks" and found the title, thus the quotes.

We're having strange weather today, so I'm going to re-photo this again.  The truck colors are accurate, but the grass is a bit brighter yellow/green than it is in the painting.  They're a bit "faller colors" in the painting..is that a real word?
