The Firefly

SOLD  The Firefly, oil on canvas, 10 x 20 x 1 1/2 inches.  The Firefly was a passenger train with the Frisco Lines from 1935 to 1960.  It served the Kansas City, Tulsa, Oklahoma City route.  This is a commission that I just completed.  It was a lot of fun to paint.

Trains

 GATX 2170, oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 10" x 20"

BNSF 4100, oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 10" x 20 "

A&NR 2000, oil on gallery wrapped canvas, 10" x 20 "

I love trains!  I see these trains rolling through town almost every day.   There are others I plan to paint, also.  I love to hear them--the rumble and the horns.  Even if I'm miles away, on a quiet night I can hear them.
These three paintings just returned from an exhibition at Angelina College.

BISHOP
oil on canvas, appr 4"x6"

Sunday--This is the second in my water tower series. I painted this from a picture I took as we passed through Bishop, TX recently.

RICARDO
oil on canvas, appr 4"x6"

This is Ricardo, Texas. I thought it was interesting how this house was between the water tower and the railroad track and highway. I took many pictures of water towers in towns along the way between Lufkin and the Rio Grande Valley on our recent trip. I've thought about doing a series of paintings of water towers. We'll see.
