Started this one yesterday. The first in a series with the old cars and animals...well, actually the second if you count "Fox delivery". Let me know your thoughts...

Unison, Schminke and others on Colorfix paper (medium grey)

This is looking great! You do an excellent job with rusted aged metal! And I love that your pieces tell a story. Keep up the great work Mike!

Wow!
I love it.
Bunny's a smart little guy.
Had to look for him, love the hawk and truck...outstanding and charming.
Must be the "others" that you are useing that's pulling this all together.

Barry, thank you! I will hopefully finish this one today...

Suzanne, thank you also! The metal has become a lot easier due to you 'converting' me to that good...no, GREAT Colorfix paper. And, in keeping with my studio name "Portraits of life", I do try to depict lfe stories in my art, thank you for noticing that... :-)

Michele, thank you! I will post the finished piece soon...

Thank you, Rosie! By you saying that you had to look for the rabbit, it makes me see that the 'idea' is working...although not as well as I had hoped. I will try and add something to the composition that will take the eye back to him more easily. BTW, the "others" do help, and they are way less expensive! ;-)
