Red old Truck

This painting is one that I almost ripped up and started over again. Instead I gave myself a break for a few days to see if I could salvage it.
Sometime around 11 p.m. last night, I decided to work with what I had painted and just went for it. I just kept on layering it and mixing colors on the painting as I went along. If I was to paint this truck again I'd do a few things differently. Probably I would add more to the background, reposition the truck on the canvas, and probably use better reference photo's.
