Breaker breaker, good buddy! This is your ramblin' road warrior the Toil Man aka The Art Throb here! Pull over to the side of the highway and let me introduce to you this heavenly cargo of loveliness name Barbara! She's our Toil Girl in The Spotlight this month and she'll be making her way to the drive-thru of your heart momentarily.

"Dear Les,

My boyfriend and I are both truck drivers. We both haul flatbed and oversized loads. We have recently started "running team" which means we're both driving the same truck, so it's nonstop.

 

I think  a portrait of me by the driver's door or the front corner of our truck would be great as the truck is a main part of it. I know he likes me wearing red and black but I am also open to what you think would be good.

I admire your work and look forward to working with you."

I love a bit of a story or history on the theme of any portrait I'm about to embark on, even if it's as basic as the subject chillin' on a lawn chair. Inspiration fort the artist is always beneficial for a meaningful work of art.

10-4 to ya, Barbara girl! I'm hoping your portrait is still bringing you and your husband miles of smiles.
