This painting was inspired by a group of lovely rusty trucks held at the Snibston Discovery Park in Leicestershire.

This really caught my eye, Jo. A simple image with so much to see if you take a minute. Love the rust and weathering on the box car, as well as the details of the undercarriage, tracks and gravel. The fact that it seems to be fading into the sky just reinforces the concept of aging—it's unstoppable, even for iron and steel. Nicely done.

Artist Reply: Hi Mike- wow- thanks for your interesting comment. The aging of the truck was so important I didn't want to clutter it up with anything else, but have to say, did wonder whether it would work. Im very happy with it now its finished. Thanks again. Jo
