Nice one Dixie, makes two of us that are sad old sods then, as I feel the same about melancholy old rusty vehicles :-)

Might be a sad old vehicle Paul but they make a great drawing. Lots of interesting features which shows off to a great advantage in you painting.

A4 watercolour, old tractor (Ford) at the end of its days. Sad to see old vehicles left to rust away, but they have anew life, looking brilliant as they change colours, something quite magical about then. Sad old sod as I’m told when I mention that.
