Description
I finally got to paint this from my digital manipulation, Don't Give Up Searching.
I'm so pleased with the result. I used a few different textures and oil paint and made the eye brown rather then blue so that the image was unified in pallet to suit a college project so that I could paint this particular piece without abandoning duty.

Manipulation I made and used as reference:[link]
Stock images used in manipulation:
Rust-[link] by pdtnc-stock [link]
and [link] by kriegs [link]
Eye- [link] by SaligiaStock [link]

UPDATE-
In 2008 this painting was STOLEN.
It was being displayed in Bentley Pines Restaurant with a group of other art from fellow students. toward the end of the year the restaurant went though refurbishments and stored the works in a disabled toilets :/ we were asked to collect the work but this painting had already gone before it could be collected. Ive contacted all the people in charge and been forwarded around like a telstra customer on hold and still haven't gotten it back.
