Mucky Ducky no more
One day later and we have a painting. ‘Mucky ducky’ no more! - A4 No. 60021 Wild Swan shimmers in green and gold after a job well done by the cleaners. This is one of those pieces that’s best viewed small haha. Since it’s tiny in real life (the image on the computer is life-size) it’s best viewed from a distance ;) I’m very pleased with this one!
Watercolour on hot-pressed paper, 10.5 x 14.8 cm. Original is available.
King Edward II, Tornado and Sir Nigel Gresley all in Blue Liveries at Didcot.
Sketch for today's project: a tiny little steam engine painting. Featuring of course an A4, in this case a close-up of No. 60021 Wild Swan - or 'mucky ducky' as she was known to many a train spotter, due to the state of cleanliness (or rather lack thereof) she was usually seen in...
Size is 10.5 x 14.8 cm (A6), and medium will be watercolours.
Footage of the A4 Pacific's but especially Silver Fox
None of you told me a lovely new book on Mallard appeared last year, how dare you.
Anyway, I bought it and should have it in a few days, which is good because I cry over that locomotive on a regular basis.
look at this machine
look at it
it went 126 mph once
look at how pretty and streamlined it is
it is majestic
