Bruce Thomson's Sketches
Evelyn and I saw this drive by on Lakeshore Blvd. in Burlington a week or two ago, and then later, came across it in a driveway. I was pleased, as I’d been driving when I first passed and didn’t get a photo, but, that rectified I came home and sketched. Not sure what you would call this, Racer? Roadster? But quite the vehicle!
A sketch of the “Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal” in Antwerp – a beautiful Cathedral just off the Grote markt… Visited this last July…
I may have overworked this one a bit much, but I was enjoying myself… 🙂
A quick sketch of a Jaguar XJC at British Car day from this year… 🙂
This is a lovely Mercedes that I saw in La Condesa, Mexico City, as the owner was re-parking it without having fully removed the car cover – So I was walking by at precisely the right time… 🙂 I’m guessing that this is somewhere around 1960 to 1963… it was in amazing shape! I guess this is what happens when you don’t put salt on the roads, ha ha.
This the the Pub across from the “Het Morrinneken”… I actually sketched this from The “Het M…” before I sketched the “Het M…” from the Agora… ahhh… timelines… !
I’d never seen one of these before – it’s a “Skoda”, and I know the brand (one of my friend’s Chris, at the RCA was a big Skoda fan ;-)… but I had never encountered one of these… This is a “Skoda Felicia”… I’m guessing that it’s an early 60s model based on the added “fins” on the back of the car… (well – finettes!). This was a car to take tourists for a doddle – I would’ve ponied up, but there were 10 in the extended family trip… so the driver was left to contemplate his phone. Taken on “the” (?) Celetna near the Prasna brana – apologies for the lack of correct accents… I’ve lost track of my keycaps… !
A 1975 MV Agusta Magni, at “Auto World” in Brussels. My Brother in Law and I spent an enjoyable morning there, touring the collection. We were fortunate in that there was a James Bond Exhibition on at the time, with some of the Bond cars – very cool. My 6 year old niece, Ashley earned a place on the page as she was giving me advice whilst I was drawing… 🙂
A detail sketch of the Gare du Nord from the patio of “Au Baroudeur Patient” across the road… got the sketch about half done before we had to pay our bill and head off for our train to Burxelles Midi. Finished it in Belgium. 🙂
Het Moorinneken, a pub/restaurant on the Grote Markt, Leuven, drawn from the “Agora” pub/restaurant across the square…
