No disrespect I hope, but that "Flying Scotsman" gave me an idea. A quick pen and wash as a homage to our dear Scotsman Syd.

Marvellous image, Paul, we're all on a journey through life and we don't know when it's our turn to disembark.

Here's my tribute to Syd. It's a fast and loose acrylic on canvas (30 X 23 cms), based on The Flying Scotsman emerging from a tunnel. I enjoyed painting this one, strangely enough, but I'll probably finish it with oils at some time. Maybe not, though. From the gut, this one. Bri PS I'll post it in the gallery tomorrow, so no need to comment, my friends. B

I'm thinking the same Ellen! I've never drawn a train so I don't think I can enter this particular challenge but well done to everyone who has.

Still playing catch-up on the POL site. Very sad news about old Syd. I always enjoyed his input, even on the very few times when I disagreed with him. He was always very encouraging to me, and to others no doubt. I liked some of the cartoons in his gallery, a couple had me chuckling aloud...unusual for me, I'm one of those inward laughers (painful). I shall miss him. Lew.
