I have painted this train trestle from various directions several times. I always find it interesting. While creating this piece on location, I expectantly waited for a train to pass by. Just about the time I was ready to pack up, I heard the deep rumble of diesel engines. As the rumble revealed itself, I took a quick photo and made marks on the canvas as to the engine’s placement. Back in the studio the addition was made.
