This is the fifth in the series "Old cars & critters". I'm not sure that I'll stop at five cause I'm having fun with this series, but I'm going to take a break after this one and move on to something else. Let me know your thoughts?

Art Spectrum's Colourfix paper, 12"x18", as usual done with Unisons, Rembrandts, Carbothellos and others...

It looks like another winner o' master of the rusty hulk. Can't wait to see it completed and the close-ups of the critters.

Oh, Mike, I can tell this is going to be one of my favorites I love the animals and your color choices. And of course your execution is flawless. Can't wait to see it done.

How excited I was to see another from the series pop up. I'm waiting anxiously to see it finished. I KNOW it's going to be good.

Kim & Michele, I'm really trying to finish this one...studio time has been minimal these last couple of weeks.
I'm hoping that I don't let you down???!!!!

Thanks to all of you! Pablo and Justine, I have thought about entering the competition, but I've seen much better pastel work NOT make it, so I'm kind of hesitant to enter...thank you for suggesting it tho!

Here is an update...been doing commission work, so time on this has been very limited!
