"Diamond in the Rough"

"Diamond in the Rough" 
6 x 6" Oil  ©2011 Trish Stevenson

Classic cars run in our family. As long as I can remember, my dad has been restoring old cars. A '38 Buick, 50's Cadillacs, even a Bentley. In his early 80's now, and still restoring, he has of late been enchanted with Packards. This one is awaiting it's turn in the weeds for now. The fun for me in painting old cars and trucks is in the rusting colors and the light bouncing off the still-shiny chrome, not to mention the beautiful lines in those classic designs.

Hilltop Jimmy

Couldn't resist another old truck, this time a GMC, no hood, but still basking in the sunlight.

A Rusty Couple

Since I can remember, my Dad & brothers have been restoring antique cars or trucks, so scenes similar to this are embedded in my memory. These two, a Packard and a Chevy, seem to be leaning on each other, telling each other their old stories.
