"Texas Pickup"

8 x 10
oil on stretched canvas

Don't you think the pickup truck should be the official Texas state vehicle! On the highway outside of Lampasas, I spotted this one with cactus planted in the bed of the truck and sitting in a field of spring wildflowers and bluebonnets.

  5. This is the second "old" vehicle you have done recently and it is just as exquisite as the tractor! I love old/antique vehicles and this one is no exception. I have to say it sure makes a beautiful planter and I am rather awed that the owner thought of it in this gorgeous setup. Gosh, everything IS big in Texas...even the planters!!! Beautiful work yet again, Ann!!
