Morris Traveller
Comments

I like this! Deceptively simple, but so skilfully done.

Very dynamic Tim, fabulous!

Excellent painting Tim , great set of pictures.

I love your relaxed style here Tim and I agree. A great set of paintings

Beautifully done, what lovely old vehicle, I had a saloon version but always wanted the traveler.

Great painting and brings back memories of the one we had many years ago.

Fabulous and in such a short time too

Thank you for the lovely comments; much appreciated. The Morris Traveller is surprisingly difficult to draw, especially with the curves on the bonnet. But once I had sorted that out I was away. As mentioned in the caption, I had a short window of time to paint it, which helped keep an energy with the brushwork.

Lovely work.

You have a great style Tim, love your Traveller.

This is lovely. I remember being taken to school in one of these!

WONDERFUL! Brings back so many memories for me and my wife as I had a blue one when my wife was first pregnant, it had mushrooms growing out of the back sliding windows when we first bought it also a friend had one which he had full restoration and was featured in the local paper. But like a fool I sold mine to my boss! Money was tight in those days. Wish I had been able to keep it.🥲 Wonderful painting and skilfully done!👍🙏

A very painterly sketch. Brilliant !

My oil sketch of this Morris Minor 1000 Traveller took 75 mins before a brief rain shower and lunch forced me to stop, which, wasn’t a bad thing as I didn’t want to overdo it.
