16''x20'' oil   steam road roller traction engine 1925   7844 'Old Ken'      © MARTIN DAVEY 2010 This is an oil painting of a steam roller. It is a 'Wallis & Steevens Road Roller' built in 1925 and named 'Old Ken'. It is seen here at a countryside steam fair traction engine rally, wearing two 'england' flags. It is painted in oils to a size of 20" x 16" on a canvas. Its fun to paint the shiny brass and copper fittings and put the highlights on the wheels. The two men driving the steam roller help to give it scale. This engine was there on the same day.
