Cooler colors lend an industrial feel to the piece. The two figures are faceless: the undeniable star of the show being the steam engine itself--and the masses of smoke and steam it sends into the world.

Notice the gesture of the two engineers. The two figures are drawn roughly and yet have weight. They are proportionately (and arguable anatomically) perfect. They are real--just two guys out on the rails, doing their jobs

This painting is perfect for all those many little boys out there who have grown into men who still long to play with their beloved train sets -- much like the artist himself.

(In this day and age of Artificial Intelligence, the artist offers a handwritten Certificate of Authenticity upon sale and request.) See less
