Quite a striking image. Is this a digitally modified stock image? Whatever it is, it is certainly attractive. The saturated colors are artful and the composition is superb.

    Thank you, Mike. It's several stock images plus digital painting here and there. Plus Topaz simplify and sketch filters. Photo manipulation to the max, lol. Again, thank you for the comments. :))

A lovely digital art piece.
An old truck actually still looking good as it sits in the beautiful field with a gorgeous blue sky and white cotton ball clouds.
I love the old dice in the rear view mirror. It reminds me of many days gone by.
Nice composition and design.
A pleasure to view!

Love how you created this interesting digital painting showing the old abandoned truck complete with the hanging dice with the two lovely trees framing it. Excellent choice of colours and I like how you've done the foreground grasses. Very imaginative composition. Suzanne

Look in so many farmer's fields and you will see this sort of a picture. The truck is very realistic and the trees are well painted. In fact, there is no part of this painting that has not been given special care in its art work. Well painted and very enjoyable.

Nice on this!
I love the HDR look and feel. It has a great quality and texture about it.
Quite eye popping!
I love the truck. The kind I would like to rescue and cherry out so I could cruise across the country with my dog Deek.
Colors and textures read really well and the lighting has a wonderfully sultry late afternoon type of feel.
Well done!

Wow! What a piece of art! Amazing colors, well blended, cool focal point. I like the clouds and how they look water colored. The grass is very cool and has great textures to it. Thank you for sharing its very pleasing to look at. :D

You surprise me again.
For you cars are an unusual object I think. You put Old Betsy in a nice landscape. The diagonal line of trees makes the composition especially interesting, because if we the connect the tees to the car, we see a triangle. The proportions and the perspective are perfect. The dice indicate that there is a gambling town nearby. Her owner might have lost and abandoned her because he couldn't pay for Gasoline.

I am assuming this was a photograph and you used Topaz to make it resemble an Oil painting. For me, I would have preferred a less saturation of the colors. Composition is great, as is the subject matter.
