I didn't have any creative ideas for this weekly challenge so I took it as an opportunity to make a non-motif painting  

...and then when I went to add rust to the tire I realized that with this palette my rust looked more like a beautiful solar flare or something. But, that looked good so I just stuck with it.

Maybe, its only been abandoned for 1 year, and like an orphan who still holds hope for mama, its shine has yet to fade
