This is an 18"x24" watercolor fantasy scene. I developed it from a series of commuter images from old movie footage and photographs. It is a favorite train scene of mine even though there is no train. The expectation of the trains arrival, and riding home on a warm passenger car. The anticipation of being able to get out of the cold winter air and head home for a warm meal and bed has been something I remember from my childhood and sought to evoke in this work

Indeed. Its a matter of interpretation. Sometimes a scene of peace and Contentment, others you have created the effective high pitched sensation of flight & flying free like riding a roller coaster around hairpin turns. You are most deserving and thanks for your response.

It has a glow, like early morning or evening...love it...Love the snow. I asked my daughter once while we were driving what color is snow...She said white. I said, look at the snow, what color is it! She said, Blue! She was about four years old....great lessons!
