Chris Osborne Art

This blitz crane was a bit of a perspective challenge because of the bent parts of metal and the circular wire resting against the bodywork.

Anyway I thought I would give digital art a go since I had lots of Telstra points and this enabled me to get an Apple Pencil 2nd

This was fun to sketch apart from two other machines around it the same colour made it hard to distinguish the crawlers parts.

This crawler is so different in shape, size, and colour to anything else in the shed and was begging to be drawn.

An old pickup with a crane and a fair bit of junk. It's just knowing what to leave in and what to take out to make an interesting painting.

Some trucks just seem to scream out, "sketch me", and I'm also glad this truck hadn't moved in the two months between visits as my first photo of it wasn't very...

I love the tractors with headlights it always seem to give them some kind of character.

A very beat up vehicle that has probably worked very hard in it's life and now having a good earned rest.

While I was in Lightning Ridge I managed to drive around some of the old mines and photograph a dozen or so old cars that seemed interesting.

About half a km from the main camp site there was a local dumping area for bits of concrete and metal including about 5 old cars which have been a good...

The blitz truck was just outside the Old Laura homestead, Lakefield northern Queensland when I went for my road trip to the Tip of Australia back in 2019.

If you ever visit London I would recommend doing the studio tour. It was just unreal to be walking among all the props and giant sets.

After not seeing my friend for about 20 years it was more talking than sketching anyway

Anyway I ran over to the fence and took a photo on my phone of the delightful little tug boat at Hervey Bay.

An old Range Rover used for the Miles fire brigade, which will eventually form part of my fire truck collection.

If you look closely you can see my mother putting on her rain jacket just in front of the windows and my backpack propped up against the wall.

I just love this maker because its and older one and very weathered with bits missing and I feel has more character to it.
