In steam days on British Railways the South Devon banks presented a formidable challange to any steam locomotive so that drivers whose trains were above a certain weight could request a pilot engine be attached to increase the power and prevent stalling on the gradient. If an engine stalled and came to a standstill it would probably not be able to restart and have to call for another engine to assist and this would cause delay to following trains, so a prudent driver would play safe and take a pilot anyway. Here a Manor pilots a King at just past Aller Junction with the ascent of Dainton bank ahead of them and both engines are giving it all they’ve got to rush the bank and the hills are echoing to their efforts on a summers day in 1958. Painted for a client based on his favourite photo about 6 years ago in oils on canvas. An oil painting like this on board or canvas 20”x30” of your favourite railway subject, British, American or even French, would cost from £1000. E-mail me on mike@transportartist.co.uk
Many call it the greatest fighter plane ever built, a proposition I heartily agree with: the beautiful North American P-51 Mustang. I once heard a Mustang pilot say, “If you wanted to turn left, all you had to do was roll your eyes to the left.”
Douglas DC-3 without wording Pencil on 14×17 Strathmore drawing medium 80lb. paper sprayed with lacquer. United airlines DC-3 makes ready for flight. The DC-3 was built in the 1930’s and is still flying today. Updates to avionics and engines have been made, but the basic airframe has been left alone. Just goes to show that it is truly hard to improve on a perfect design that meets so many requirements or fills so many demands. Cheers to Mr. Douglas!

This is an oil pastel drawing of a 2009 Ferrari California, on display, in front of the Starbucks Coffee location in the Preston Square office complex, at the 2009 Ottawa Ferrari Festival courtesy of Ferrari Quebec in Montreal. It’s based on this photo. I started doing the pencils for this drawing in September and did the colouring in oil pastel sporadically through October and November. One innovation from previous oil pastel drawings is that, in addition to the usual Mungyo and Pentel and Reeves oil pastel colours that I was already using, I bought several packs of cheap Daler-Rowney Simply oil pastels from Wal-Mart. The Daler-Rowneys are a bit harder than any other oil pastels I’ve tried and are hard enough to sharpen with a pencil sharpener so that I could do some finer detail than what I was able to draw before in pastel. For shading the Ferrari, I wasn’t satisfied with the selection of darker reds I had, so I bought four different shades of Sennelier oil pastels, which cost $2 Canadian per stick at de Serres, but they blend together so wonderfully. I’ll probably buy a handful more Sennelier colours for shading the large areas of future oil pastels, but, as long as oil pastel drawing remains a hobby for me and not a profession, I won’t be able to afford doing the entire drawing in Sennelier. I’m afraid that some of the subtleties of the Sennelier red shading isn’t that apparent due to the fact that, as with my other oil pastel drawings, I drew it on a 28” by 22” sheet of white “Bristol Board” card, so it’s much too large for me to scan, even in chunks. I photographed the drawing in natural light (on a cloudy morning), but the contrast between the light and dark areas is still a bit hard to discern, especially on the front hood. This is the second Ferrari California drawing that I started based on the dozens of photos I took of that one car, but the first I’ve finished. I’ll try and finish the other one before the end of December.
