RETIRED IN OKEECHOBEE

                              5' x 7 Oil on Wood Panel

Day Seventeen - 30 in 30 Challenge

This old International Harvester actually retired in Western North Carolina where a number of trips  were made to photograph it.  So much personality, don't you think?  The abandoned one we came upon in Okeechobee was not nearly so interesting nor was it yellow!  So - now the NC truck lives in Okeechobee among the palmetto and wild hogs!  Romantically realistic?  Maybe?

After the fruit, I was  ready for a change of pace - this one was totally fun except for using the little brushes!

  2. Thank you, Hilda. I know exactly what you mean by our eyes seeking out the romantic relics of the past - falling fences, rusty barbed wire, there is no end, is there? Your kind words are appreciated! Thanks for stopping by!
