Such a good painting and beautifully observed. The colours and use of them are first class.

Nearly missed thisTim. You conjure up isolation so well through gesture, composition and colour. Very cleverly painted.

Thanks for your comments. I was very tempted to make the shadows a lot darker at one point as I thought the blues were too blue; but when I looked again at my sketches/photos from my visit, it reminded that it was actually quite light/sunny inside like a greenhouse.

A recent oil painting on a primed MDF panel created from sketches and photographs of a signalman in a contemplative mood.
