Really good painting Mark full of interest and nostalgia for railways of the past...

Superb layout painting for this old engine Mark! I like the outlay of the strong metalic colour values for the engine, it demonstrates the difference between the cabin and the steam fueled engine, and the swerve of the trucks behind fading out. This is consolidating into a great painting keep up the great work!

So effective, dramatic light and shade.

Love this! I can smell it! I always feel steam engines are more like living beings and you convey that so well in this painting.

I really enjoy painting these old steam trains such interesting shapes. Thanks for all the comments here, much appreciated. Now I just need to do it again but much bigger.
