Neighbourhood Construction

 

Construction is something else we have a lot of in our neighbourhood. I like a challenge and there are no shortage of diggers to draw.

Austin Minis in the Hood

 

We seem to have a lot of Austin Minis in our neighbourhood.  I like them because they are small and cute, so I drew a couple of them.

Indy

 

John Denniston's blog recently featured the photographs he took at the Indy in Vancouver in 1996.  You can find them here.

This was very fun to draw!

Ritchie's Homecoming

 

This photo from John Denniston's The Car Project inspired me to do something with an Urban Sketching feel, although it can't be strictly classified as that.  It is photo #33 if you are following along.

The photographs are black and white so I can paint my cars whatever color I like, and this convertible had to be red.

A Nice Round One

 

Life has been getting in the way of sketching and blogging lately, but I do have a few more that I did from the lovely photographs of local photographer John Denniston.

If you want to see the photo from The Car Project, it is #30 of 43.

I do like those nice round old cars!

How to Choose?

 

This was inspired by another of John Denniston's photos from The Car Project.

When Janice sent me the link to her cousin's website, she said she would be interested to see which photos  I would choose to draw from.

This one had me at the car, but the Midas sign was definitely a contributing factor.  Thanks, Janice!

My Cup Runneth Over

 

I couldn't resist a photo with a car and a shopping cart.  It turned out that the bucket was pretty fun too.

My friend Janice found the photo for me.  Her cousin, John Denniston, is a retired newspaper photographer, and still loves to take pictures.   He did an entire project devoted to cars, and you can find them on his website here.  

If John isn't too appalled I'll do a few more.
