Narrow Gauge Nostalgia


When my son, Nathan, was in High School, he and his friend formed an official club called T.W.I.G. (Train Watching is Great). I never quite understood the whole "train watching" thing but they did it nonetheless!


Now, years later, most of my grandchildren are themselves fascinated by trains. Maybe it is a hidden characteristic in the DNA pool?!! Who knows ...
So, in their honor, I decided to study up on old steam locomotives so I could paint an accurate rendition of this "narrow gauge nostalgia". I really enjoyed this painting experience! Kaiden has especially been looking forward to seeing the finished product ... enjoy! Acrylic on canvas 30" x 15"
