Beyond the obvious fact that this is a 1967 convertible beetle, I was drawn to this scene by that deep red side of the car in shadow, with the reflection. Then there's the pop of the hubs in shadow - couldn't wait to paint them. Finally, I liked the saturated red in the foreground compared to warm greens in the background.
