Gary,
Have you considered using photos for the backdrop? Perhaps not as is, but with a bit of post-processing to blur them or otherwise make detail a bit more indistinct? I have also seen a technique in MR where the author painted on top of photos, matching colours and so on, but that gave him the freedom to change details as needed.
But you asked for an opinion... As the movie critics used to say -
My only criticism is not with your skill, but with the layout of the scene. It appears as if the building behind the truck should extend out over the roadway. I am assuming that is not the case...
