"Barn Find" (Ford F100)

I saw this glorious beauty during the Pate Swap Meet in north Texas. She was on a flatbed waiting to be purchased and restored. I thought she looked fabulous just as she was with years of character written all over her. 

I was drawn by the rainbow of colors in the body patina. You may not see them all, but there are purples, greens, blues, browns, and oranges in there. I had fun splattering this girl using thinned acrylic and smeared quite a bit of it using my fingers. Such a fun piece to paint.
