I found this image online a few weeks ago and really loved the angle of the shot, looking up the underbelly of massive bins, with tangled steel supports. The grayed out sky added a bit of mystery to the setting. I decided to modify the original quite a bit by downplaying the bin on the right and focusing the attention to the bin on the opposite side, illuminating the outside with warmer colors, light blue, white and yellow. This painting is 20×30 Oil Pastel on Black Museum Board.

Late Night Shift

I spotted this image online yesterday and knew I had to paint it. The perspective of the truck, the rust, the grime, the overcast sky and signage makes it a remarkable subject. This painting is 16×20 on Black Foam Board. I used my go to oil pastels, Gallery with Winsor Newton Oil Bar sticks.
