Here’s the photo I took of Skip’s Old Ford pickup, which I rendered in Procreate. He told me the year, but now I’m not sure he said 1967 or 1968. This guide might help the curious.

Heading Northwest out of Merced
Taxi in front of Hemingway’s Finca Vigía in Cuba
Like I said, they’re everywhere; well, in Cuba at least. I snapped a shot of this enormous Cadillac taxi, in front of Finca Vigía, a museum now, where Ernest Heminingway lived from 1939 to 1960. The Finca is located in San Francisco de Paula, a small town about 10 miles from Havana.
Here’s a rendering of that taxi done in Procreate with a Sty-HD stylus using the photo referenced above…side by side, freehand.

They’re Everywhere…
…and there’s even a Facebook page: Carros Clásicos de Cuba! So, on our two flights back home, I put stylus to screen in Procreate for a side by side freehand guided by a photo that Annyth took with her iPhone.

Aunt Bee, I know it’s late, but I’m’a swing by’n pick up piece’at pie.
Technical: I found the reference photo on Google by doing a search of images. I displayed it on my large desktop monitor while I sketched it free hand on my iPad using Procreate. Here are the two images. Sure I would do things differently, if given another chance. I could go back and do more, but I called it quits at a point along the way.
Old Ford @ K & 26th in Merced, CA
This beauty catches my eye every time I ride or drive by. I couldn’t resist the urge to photograph it last night on the way to the 17th Street Public House so that I could render it today.
Anyone know what year it might be? (thanks for the clue Jim; it’s a 1950.)
