A Marathon cab in a dark garage. Yellows are always a struggle for me. There were times when I didn't think this one was going to make it. Then I had to deal with that black background with the backlighting. The license plate isn't misspelled; it includes my kids' initials as most of my paintings do.

Virtual Paintout is in Sri Lanka this month. I often have trouble finding images that appeal to me in some locations. But, given my affinity for vehicles, I had to do something with this obvious symbol of South Asian transportation. In almost every StreetView image you see at least one of these. I had a little fun with this one using John Lovett's technique of adding gesso to break up and lighten parts of the otherwise finished watercolor.
