Comment from Renate-Bertodi
Excellent car picture but I am not a driver and the dog on the bonnet is a brilliant addition! I like the way you have stuck it into the long grass. England is small so it would quickly be stripped here, but I suppose with the size of USA it could deteriate gently and no one do anything to it..

Nice detail throughout this piece...and really nice depth with the hills in the background.

Coloring is really nice too...I like the highlights in the grass

Good luck in the contest!

Love the old car and the rustic look you created. The grass surrounding the truck makes it look like it's been sitting there for years. The dog on the hood is a nice addition. Susan

Comment from Minnie Kaye
I am no car aficionado but I think it is a great piece.
You did a great job with the window, shows great shadows and reflection like a window on car would.
You hood ornament is so cute and well painted.
I like how the car is somewhat over grown by the grass.
Overall great piece, thanks for sharing.

Thank you so C.H. Minnie. My bull dog does not have your detail.

Comment from Neilnap773
In my opinion I would have not put the dog in the composition..I can see why you did but the quality of your car and the backdrop is so good the dog becomes a distraction

Comment from Arctic Artist
OMG! That's so cute! I like how he's all like 'This is my car, we gonna go ride?' The colors go very well together. The glass on the car is very realistic. The car itself looks old and antiquey. Overall very nice piece to look at. Thank you for sharing. :D

I am enjoying your witty title and humor with real dog ornament.
Great details and textures on the rusty vintage car.
Love the dog sitting on it as if it is his throne.
Fine colors, details and creative humor.
Well done ;)

Ha! An imaginative work of art to be sure. Actually the "Hood Ornament" is a larger version of the Bulldog on the hoods of Mack Trucks. I think this is a very good work and a great entry for the contest. Best of luck in the voting ~ Steve

Love this one. It is a wonderful entry for the contest. The dog is sitting proud on this old rusty car. The composition is very well done with the dog in just the right place. You have used the right colors and effectively captured the rust on the window. The windshield is well done and the reflections of the sky are perfect. Good luck in the contest.
