Gord's truck
Hi and welcome to my blog again. I have to thank my daughter for
getting all this artwork on here because I sure as hell don't know how
to do it. It's a lot more complicated than posting photos. I'm honestly
willing to learn how to do everything but its easier to just let her do
it. This truck picture is going into the book we're making but I
know I'll be in trouble for doing it. The truck belongs to the friends
we stayed with in B.C. and has become an issue between them. The wife
would like it to be towed away or at least cleaned up but Gord loves it
just the way it is, surrounded by trash and empty flower pots. (He's a
landscape gardener.) She asked me not to paint it because if I did, he
would say "See? It's art! I can't possibly get rid of it!" Well, I
guess the truck will be staying, flat tires and all. There was more
junk around it than I included; I decided to simplify things and clean
it up a bit.
I guess some people who like to paint wouldn't consider a junked-up truck to be an interesting subject but I think you can paint just about anything. Art can transform just about any subject and sort of romanticise even an old truck surrounded by trash.
