Traditional truck art is very common all over Pakistan. Its a simple and expressive way of displaying a talent.

Red is very strong colour and used for captivating emotions. Its a very common colour used in local arts and painting. Nature is a dominant element of this painting which was displayed on the the side panel of a tractor. I like it at a first glance and thought of captivating it in my camera. Love the red.
