A summer event I always look forward to is the Greenwood Car Show. Growing larger
every year, the “mile and a half of classic rides” is a land of dreams for
people who like old cars – and all the stories that go with them. I had the
most fun two years ago, the first
time I sketched there. Last year I got rained out and came home with a very soggy sketchbook.
That’s why I was especially looking forward to yesterday,
the show’s 23rd year, and equally disappointed when I realized the
date conflicted with a workshop I was taking! No matter – if I hurried, I could
squeeze in a little more than an hour of sketching cars before dashing downtown
for my workshop.

First up was a 1940 Lincoln Zephyr with an entirely matte
grayish-white finish and covered rear wheels. Next I sketched a gorgeous lime
green ’72 Buick Riviera with an impossibly long front end. (I don’t think I got
the proportions quite right – it didn’t seem like it could be that long!)
Glancing at my watch, I knew I had to get going, but how could I attend a car
show without sketching a convertible? On my way out I spotted a ’67 VW Bug
convertible just in time.

I can just picture you scooting from one car to the other to sketch them. LOL Great job on all three of them. If I had to pick I would want the VW convertible. I can feel the wind in my hair now.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a fun time. Love your VW. I went to a car show myself, last weekend. Great show and good day but I experienced something new - too many people wanting to talk to me while I sketched. Normally I love those conversations but this day they became continuous and distracting. Blog post to come. --- Larry
