No One's Home Painting

I am inspired by old things that are past their useful prime. I tend to make great use of texture and rich color in my paintings. In this work, I have depicted an empty, rusted out old truck somewhere in the middle of Michigan. Somehow, this relic is so past it's useful life that even the "for sale" painted on the hood has faded. It's full of character and we are left wondering all the incredible things it did when it was in use. Now it's put out to pasture with nothing around but melancholy. I chose watercolor as my medium. It's not a very forgiving medium, but it can be coaxed into little or high detail and texture. Building the color is not a one shot deal, it takes patience and layering. It also takes a strategy to think ahead about how to approach which order to do things, kind of like a chess game.
