Ice - stages 1 and 2

This is an ice vending machine by the side of the road I found in South Carolina. I agonised over how near or far to place this within the picture as it does look quite surreal (to me anyway) in the context of it's roadside setting but in the end went with being relatively near. I used an old canvas panel that had been prepared for plein air painting that had an Ochre wash on it on which I first "Drew" up with a mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple. Later that day after it was fairly dry I painted in a tonal underpainting using the same mix together with some Zinc White and Permanent Orange for the sky. 
This morning I painted a second layer of underpainting to give me a better idea of where it's going before I go away for a few days.
