"Cabrolet" or "Cabr
iolet"?
Rusty hubcap . . . the bane of the artist is challenging materials. My favorite difficult material was paper that sopped up ink like a bleeding sponge when I needed to do very fine straight lines.

Spelling escapes me, but glad you pointed this out before I printed it on there.
Cabriolet or Cabrio: A type of convertible with only two doors, and thereby recalling the cabriolet carriage.
The curve of the cap, the indents, using latex on metal, is challenge enough. Lord help me when I start painting on more exotic materials such as canvas, paper, etc.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
