Van Rouge

Great work Paul, I like your colours 😀

Love the truck. Not sure why they appeal so much, a remembrance of youth perhaps, or maybe because they have their life's work written all over them...a bit like this old codger.

A splendid rusting truck. Great subject.

I love this, it's so real...

Good old truck, with a nice play on words !!

Thank you all for your kind comments. Pleased someone noticed the play on words Richard. I don’t know why they appeal Lew, to me it’s the history they carry and the colours when decaying away. Old ships have the romantic atmosphere of venturing to exotic places etc.

I love an old clapped out, rusty truck and this fits the bill Paul. Well painted.

Thank you Fiona, not often that I have a female say they like old trucks, but why not there is so much going on.

So much more to interest the eye compared to a bright shiny new one! This kind of subject has much more character.

Thank you Fiona, I agree there is something about old cars etc.

Van Rouge gaily abandoned to do its own thing & doesn't it look good for it. You have me wondering what the barrels originally contained Paul. Degeneration portrayed wonderfully.

Thank you Brian for your comment. I agree that it looks good in its old age, as to what was in the barrels I often wonder about thinks when looking at old photos like this. Sherry or Port would be my guess, the used for whiskey.

Lovely detail on that old truck. Beautiful.
