Artist John Salt specializes in photo realistic paintings. At first glance they almost seem like actual photos, but at a closer look they are actual very detailed paintings. He seems to favor subjects that have to do with automobiles, body shops and junk yards. This makes one feel when looking at the subject matter as well as how the piece is rendered that these are photos taken years ago. The two bottom paintings depict older types of trucks and cars that are not seen around as often today that are left in disrepair. With the style of light and color the feeling that these are old photographs is even stronger.
