Galesburg Train


8" x 10" Oil on Canvas Board

I just happened on this RR crossing as I was driving one day. I liked the feel of it and thought it might make a good painting -surprising because trains have never been particularly interesting to me in the past. This was a quick plein air oil that ended up with the correct early morning look I was after. It even worked out well that a train happened along towards the end of the painting. I had not intended to add this but could not resist after seeing the lights in the distance - It was too good of a center of interest in the painting to pass up.
