Doorway, Prague

This is a doorway I sketched whilst my people were exploring a church (there are many in Prague!). I have tried to pinpoint where this is and the best I can do is somewhere around the south east side of “Malostranské nam”… odd – because if you look it up, it’s 5 or 6 streetsContinue reading “Doorway, Prague”

Paris, ahhh Part 2

Rue Danton… This is a sketch from a pub, across from a pub (as so often happens) – this sketch comes from the Rue Danton, just northwest of the Rue Suger – looking south west. The bloke serving me, (after seeing my sketch) called me “Van Gogh” – I checked my right ear, just toContinue reading “Paris, ahhh Part 2”

Paris – ahhh

This is a sketch I did in my first day (this time) in Paris… I sketched this from “Le Dome” which is on a “square” but my recent explorations of this area have been unsuccessful. I belive it was “Place de Grrenoug…. ” Or perhaps Place de Greinoug… uggh. Ultimately it is the intersection ofContinue reading “Paris – ahhh”

Old MGB, Ancaster Swap Meet

This was a lovely and very old (my guess is a ’64 or ’65) MGB… the view doesn’t show it well, but it had a nice tonneau cover, but I think that what drew me to it was its colour – I’ve included a little “chart” on the lower left hand side to give youContinue reading “Old MGB, Ancaster Swap Meet”

Triumph

I was sitting in a Pub called the “G café” in Athens last year and we sat at a sort of “shelf” table that looked out onto the street… interestingly, the table height was about level with the sidewalk outside, so I got this great dogs eye view of this motorcycle and started to sketch.Continue reading “Triumph”

Tractor…

This is an “International Harvester “Farmall” I sketched from a trip I took last summer – this was at a charming little farmer’s market just to the northwest of Fort Erie… thought it would make an interesting subject!

Series II E-Type

This is a sketch/render of a lovely Series II owned by someone I met through the Jaguar Club. He was kind enough to take me for a drive in his car prior to me buying mine, which was a big help as it allowed me to get an idea of what it is, because, althoughContinue reading “Series II E-Type”

XJ220, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

In the “better late than never” department – This is a Jaguar XJ220 that I saw at a jaguar Show at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum last fall… surprisingly, there were two XJ220s there – the one illustrated and a yellow one that I da seen at British Car day a couple of years ago.Continue reading “XJ220, Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum”

1971 Airstream, Blue Mountain

A quick sketch of “Oscar” – a 25′ (guess) Airstream Land Yacht that Evelyn and I booked this past weekend (Hallowe’en). Oscar was parked on a farm on top of Blue Mountain. The weather, as it turned out, was awful – we hit solid cloud (well – fog) at Orangeville and it only got worseContinue reading “1971 Airstream, Blue Mountain”

Jaguar XJ220

A long awaited sketch from a brilliant show I went to about a month and a half ago. This was a show at the Canadian Heritage Warplane Museum in Hamilton, and it was a show dedicated to Jags, not planes, though Evelyn and I spent about half our time toddling through the amazing aircraft andContinue reading “Jaguar XJ220”
