I have visited Cradle Mountain, Tasmania a few times as I love hiking, and I have always wanted to do the Overland Track.
Skagway had some amazing buildings, and I could have happily spent hours taking photos and sketching all day.
Just as I was taking my artworks down I could hear someone calling my name, I automatically thought oh bugger what have I done.
Tractors, crawlers, trucks and wagons our neighbour has so much to sketch, I feel I could be here years just sketching his vast collection of vehicles.
The neighbour has a stunning collection of cars and the more junk and disorder the better for me as an artist to sketch.
I was lucky enough to get shown inside our neighbours shed, which had some really wonderful vehicles, this was a sketchers dream.
I prefer to paint old cars that are being restored as they seem to have more character than a finished product looking all shiny and new.
I was originally going to sketch this in charcoal from the same burnt tree I was photographing but totally forgot as I have a memory like a goldfish.
