Wrecking Yard Cars

February 04, 2016 by Michael Stanfield

Near where I live there is a wrecking yard named "Jim's Better Buys".  It is a long time establishment in the valley.  A fellow painter, Nancy Smith, and I painted there one morning in May of 2015.  This painting was completed on site...which is always the goal.  I had a warm toned panel and went for those big value shapes right away, drawing and painting at the same time.  I never feel like I can take a break when plein air painting, unless I have to pee real bad, because time is so limited.  If it is not an overcast day the shadows can change so quickly among all the other variables.  Maybe that is why I enjoy it so much.....as always, it's the challenge.
