JUDY FAIRLEY OLD RELIABLE

I have always loved how mother nature can take metal…plain dull or shiny, and make colored masterpieces. This rusty lock next to the worn wood surface gave me the hard and soft surfaces I love to paint. I live in a part of the country where there are a lot of farms and ranches. You never have to look very far to find some old truck, or discarded machinery that is showing the test of time with its rust or oxidized fronts. But, sometimes those are still the best old trucks, plow or padlock. The older I get, the more I understand.
