I love this piece but when I first saw it posted on Twitter I thought a different artist had done it.
Subject matter-wise it definitely looks like one of yours. Your ability to take the familiar and elevate it is remarkable.
But style-wise it looks different from your more recent pieces/approaches. It looks like it was done in 1980 so I guess 42 years of artistic evolution can account for the differences. I lack the eye and the vocabulary to articulate exactly what looks different to me, but I do wonder, do you see it too? Do you look back on older works with a critical eye, or are you sympathetic or nostalgic for your younger self?
Either way, thanks for sharing it, lovely piece =)

The optimism of the vehicle going uphill. The super-detailed look that becomes so beautifully painterly as soon as I looked at it more closely. The color palette.
Two color palette? The limited palette gives it a much older look.
