Steam Train

I love it. It captures the pure speed, excitement and romance of steam.

Many thanks David yes the smell of the smoke the sound and the pure nostalgia I can safely say it was better then as we progress to robots

Oh, how it takes me back!!!

Many thanks Michael I feel you could be right and many thanks Ruth we can all have a steaming weekend

Feels like it's real and coming towards me. Approved!

So full of energy in brush strokes.

Lots of life in this one Dennis, a real sense of the power and speed of this grand old locomotive.

Great painting, Dennis, and very strong sense of speed. I admire your talent for find always new topics.

This is awesome Dennis, Love steam trains :)

Yes, the picture of speed....captured so well Dennis.

Many thanks everyone

I can feel the speed in this Dennis.

Gorgeous Dennis catches it perfect .

Love it, Dennis. Great smoke! We used to wait on the bridge to throw stones down the funnel! I loved these old trains. They were such an exciting adventure. On school trips some of the kids used to hang out of the windows!!!! Remember the leather straps to open the windows? God, I'm old!!!!!!

Many thanks all

From someone who has painted a lot of locos in detail, this is smashing dennis, without detail, but you have captured the movement and power.

I like the one you did Derek

It's going full force. Great movement.

No end to your creative skills Dennis - this is another winner, so well reduced to the essentials : body and speed. Happy birthday by the way, hope you enjoyed it.

Your steam train is really going somewhere Dennis!
