Good sketch Paul, your daily exercises are great

I like these old flat fronted lorries, and your painting.

Another good one, Paul. I do enjoy seeing your sketches!

Thanks Heather and Lew , I think it’s an age thing liking these old lorries, they were part of out childhood Lew and evoke memories. I learned to drive in a similar style vehicle when I joined up , a bright red Thornycroft fire engine, crash gear box and no power steering system.

David we must have been posting at the same time thanks for your comment.

Superb picture Paul, love the old trucks , I live close to the old Foden factory.

Very well portrayed Paul.

It’s always interesting to see your excellent sketches, which illustrate such intricate detail Paul.

This is lovely. I like old lorries too - but I always have!

Good sketch Paul.

Thank you all for your most kind comments.

Super painting Paul.

Thank you Denise , Russell and Martin I appreciate your comments .

I seem to have missed this one - I like it, Paul. It's a lovely painting of the old lorry - it has character !

Watercolour, pen and pencil sketch on cartridge paper, done as one of my daily sketch’s , find these little pieces great fun and very relaxing. For those interested based on an old AEC truck .
