Default Just an old car painting

I just finished painting this Woody. It was inspired by a photo with Dorothea Lange atop the car with her camera. I left her out here. She was a pioneering documentary photographer who captured the hardships of the Great Depression in America. You probably have seen many of her photos.
Woodies are so wonderful I wish I had one.

Wow!! What a beautiful painting! I cannot even imagine how you are able to do that. Wouldn't it be great fun to take a little backwoods trip in that 33. It looks like the perfect ride for Lawrie in the "downunder"

"Beautiful" I'm jealous because I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler.

A '34 Woody is definitely worthy portrait material. Nice job. Is that oil paint?
