Steaming alongside the River Dart
Comments

A really nice painting Ken. That train is steaming along! River nicely painted too. What medium is it! Trains never painted one - painted many subjects though. Well done.

Nice painting, train well anchored (may sound daft but that's my problem sometimes - achoring the subject) like your reflections too

Gorgeous colours Ken. The reflections in the water really make the colour of the foliage 'pop'. An idyllic scene.

I like your reflections in the water, I love trains but not to paint them, when I was a young girl my Dad worked on the railways as a Station Master of a country railway, such an idyllic time in my life, your paintings take me back, thanks for the memory. Annie

Based on a photograph taken 20 years ago whilst on holiday in Devon. A Great Western Railway pannier tank locomotive runs alongside the beautiful river Dart on the preserved South Devon Railway that runs between Buckfastleigh and Totnes.
