Peugeot Planter

Close ups


Oil on 5x7 hardboard.

Here's my submission to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The photo showed an abandoned/retired 1938 Peugeot 202 truck in France. The photo was graciously supplied by Robert...Thanks Robert!!

I really thought long and hard before tackling this one. The old truck was a challenge for me with the mechanical straight lines and curves...the sort of thing I usually avoid.

It looked sad all alone and abandoned, so I brought a little cheer into it's life by doing what nature does...turn it into a planter. A nice contrast between organic and inorganic--man and nature.

Windows-Rousillon, France

Close ups

Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

My submission for WDE at Wet Canvas this week. The reference photo is a scene from Rousillon, France and was supplied by Joan.

I used the palette knife quite a bit on this one. I really liked using it for doing basically straight edges quickly. Very handy for architecture.

12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
