A little summer as winter hits. I think I was drawn to the shadow of the potted plant in the reference photo. But the red of the flowers is the real focal point of this piece.
Once upon a time, your spare tire was part of the elegance of your car. Painted fairly loosely to begin with, I made this one intentionally looser with a judicious addition of gesso even in unusual areas. I like the result enough that you'll probably see it again. A little white watercolor pencil helped with the spoke reflections.
