Old Volkswagen called The Beetle

I am presuming it is a sort of collage. Photos of the car and a painted background. I suppose because it is America, abandoned cars seems to be a popular subject, to draw and paint. I don't drive or have a car, but I can see why it would be an interesting topic

    Thank you very much for your review! :o)
    This is not a collage. The car and the background are both painted. My program, ArtRage, allows to paint almost like on canvas. The tools are similar to traditional tools, just that i move them with my fingers on a touch pad. It is a bit like finger painting. :o)

Viewing your very realistic-like artwork here brings back fond memories for me. My late grandfather proudly owned and drove four Volkswagen 'Beetles'- although not at the same time- in the 1960s and 1970s. I remember being a passenger in his Volkswagen cars of red, black, brown, and white colors. I so enjoyed the fun conversations that we shared during many years traveling in those 'Beetle' cars.
Thank you for creating a brilliant work of art that at first glance I thought was an actual photograph.

Incredible work bringing us back to the days of peace, love and VW Beetle cars.
I like the textures of the background and the view of this old classic car.
Well done Cleo :)

it's a great work and loving these old vw bugs. the picture you made is very atmospheric and has such a great and soulful vibe. that looks like a tiny face in the window. mystery and a brilliant find. the background gives it an almost supernatural appearance.

Awesome painting and nicely composed. The old broken and antique look of the car made this painting look more lively and natural. Great work.

I think this image really looks great, and I especially like the background with the fine textures and the lovely color pallet. I also like the light just above the car. All this offers such a fine contrast to the old white Volkswagen.

The car is really stand out well, and it has got such a fine placement on the canvas.

The format and framing is perfect, and I think it is a very good balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well done digital creation Cleo.

Cleo,
A beautiful digital painting of this original type VW Beetle that reminds me of the month I spent in Germany when I was 16 staying with my Pen- friend in Lorsh, in Hessen. The family took me to Mainz, Frankfurt, Worms, Mannheim & Heilberg in the back of their VW Beetle. Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful digital painting techniques in bringing this scene to life. If I close my eye I can hear it's distinctive engine sounds in my head.
Susan

A good looking image posted here! Your fine and appropriate composition offers us a good look at your unfortunate car. Like the angle of view that you created and the swirling background. Well created!

I like it. My oldest sister had a powder blue VW Beetle back in the day in Arkansas. She bought it used, it was her first car. I also remember she wouldn't let me drive it.
