Jewel of a truck: WPWC

A jewel of a truck is currently on display at the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. Artist Laurel Porcari covered this 1941 Ford panel truck with a colorful mosaic of tiles. This piece is titled Voyager.

On one side you can see the iconic volcanoes that border Oregonโ€™s High Desert.

On the other side, youโ€™ll see a lunar landscape, with views of a planet-filled sky.

The artistry of this piece looks beautiful from any angle.
