Train Series

This series began with a small "plein air" painting in June of 2008 and has taken on a life of its own. I was attracted to two things: the abstract geometric qualities of the old train cars viewed broadside and the extraordinary textures and layers of the cars' peeling and rusted surfaces. The former seemed best expressed in paint, the latter in photographs. As you can see, however, the fascination with texture has bled over into the more recent train paintings.

All photographs are archival digital prints mounted on Masonite, sealed with matt acrylic film. No mats or frames are needed. Each is $250 and may be purchased from the artist directly using the Buy Now button unless marked Sold. I am most grateful to photographer and Artspace President Martin McFadden for his expert assistance in preparing and printing the photographs. All paintings are oil on panel and may be purchased from me directly unless currently on exhibition. If on exhibit (check the schedule of current shows under "About"), please contact the gallery directly. Contact information is provided in the gallery link. Asterisked items may be purchased by contacting The Red Door Inn in St. Helena, CA.
