RUST BUCKETS 2

(Click image to enlarge)
Several years ago I created a painting of these two trucks . The reference photo was taken by a friend. The trucks are in the back yard of the friend's father-in-law. This is a different angle on the trucks than the first painting.
I used just a bit of masking on this painting for the whites in the headlights and the reflections off of metal. I also masked off the weeds in front of the left truck's grill as well as the bullet hole in the windshield. What I was hoping to achieve was the effect of the sunlight coming from the right as in a later afternoon sun.
I like the way the painting turned out. My favorite part is the Chevrolet logo on the front of the red truck.
