Water color paper makes such an amazing difference! No, I still haven't made my own sketch book, just using a w.c. pad. I have been trying for three days to draw or paint something that looked decent, too no avail! Somehow, the brush and I could not come to an agreement. Even with this, it has it's over worked areas *huff* but , at least it is posted.

I am going to use this as my souvenir painting. When I was a child living on my Grandparents farm, my brother and I would ride on the front fenders, straddling the lights, of a truck just like this, while my Gramps drove out to do the chores. I have a lot of fond memories of those rides.
