Summer Rides

Well I certainly know I am not a professional  when it comes to cars trucks and vehicles. But living across from a park and elementary school I get to see an array of all sorts of vehicles.

Here was an intent on building and working on my skills when it comes to drawing trucks. A friend of ours who always visits made the perfect practice. I figured being that they visit fairly often I'd be able to work on the sketch a few times. This one was alright.

 Now this one made for a great story. One day I woke up with my coffee and saw a van pull up and a few people got out and had a pic-nic at the park.

They stayed till late that night. The next morning as I once again woke up with my cup of coffee I saw the same van yet again pull up. The pulled out some food and yet again used the grill at the park. Staying late till after sun-down but eventually left.

This all continued on for at least a week, almost two. I began to wonder if they simply were pulling up to a 24hr gas station, staying the night in their van, and went to the park during the day. Perhaps they were merely traveling and this was their relax and rest from driving week who knows.

All I know is they came often enough that I even managed to start working on a water color of their blue van.
