Trains
Large format, slightly abstracted, watercolor and acrylic, some with found objects; the train paintings focus on shapes, patterns, textures, lines and colors illuminated when railroad cars are viewed in strong sunlight. The pieces give a sense of the large scale of their subject while examining detailed views of smaller bits and pieces that are of interest to the artist. Inevitable rusting and wearing that results from life on the tracks is incorporated rather than ignored.
