parked Mack

We had been working in the east yard for most the day.  Very little of the equipment or trucks that usually have lined the south side of the lot are still there- at least this day.  The old water truck caught my eye sometime during the day, so at the end of the day I wandered out there again and did a quick pencil sketch that is very little different than this watercolor.             I took the sketch and transferred it to watercolor paper just by sight. Making a few changes to "improve" the composition. As usual I was not at all pleased with the result until a few days later.  I guess that's when a person gains a little perspective.    
This is on a sheet of Strathmore  12" x 12" 140lb paper.
