The Wabash Cannonball Songs ser. #6

[Trier]

Loved the song as a kid and still do!

Painting was gifted to a friend some time ago. It was about 16x20 ins as I remember, acrylic/paper.

C&C okay

 

[Artyczar]

Good motion and energy. Nice.

 

[snoball]

I agree with Arty, she's chugging right along.

 

[trufflecat]

Lots of energy here!

 

[Enyaw]

Freakin Big Eyeball .. I never realized how primitive a design the old trains had .. a big barrel with an eye as big as the barrel .. that's a good job of getting one element to do that much work for you. It certainly does say train.

 

[laf.art]

Yep I can almost hear it, nice

 

[Trier]

arty, sno, susan - Thank you very much, nice feeling comments.

As kids we doubled dared each other to stand closest to the track as a train thundered by; I was the dumbest.

Wayne - Yeah, I started with the nose and headlight and felt it said it all so just threw on the steam and got off the track!

lyn - thanks; maybe that's when I started to lose my hearing.

 

[Desforges]

Great energy and motion. Love the blues in that sky.

 

[Nufocus]

Heck, this is super dynamic!! Nice work Trier!

Thank you Desforges. I wanted the sky to convey a bright summer day and it was tough to figure out how much sky area vs the steam, smoke, dust cloud.

Hey Nufocus - Thanks a lot.

I think this may have been the fastest painting I have ever done, I just let it rip.

 

[Nufocus]

Trier, just let it rip again and again. The results of “ripping” are more often than not astounding.

Thanks for your sincere advice - I am taking it to heart and will run with it.
