      • Patriot at Rest

        Posted at 2:38 pm by gatf, on September 11, 2025

        It’s been a busy time lately, so progress has been slow, but here’s a completed artwork.

        “Patriot at Rest”. London, Midland & Scottish Railway No. 5925 “E.C.Trench” depicted in more or less original condition as it prepares for its next turn of duty.

        Image may contain: drawing, house and sketch

        “Somewhere in England”, inspired by a 1920s postcard.The sort of somewhere I’d probably choose to live if I didn’t have to work for a living…. Actually this might be a little far south for my ideal, I’d probably choose the Cotswolds. Digital pencil and wash, executed in the Procreate App on an iPad Pro.

        A blast of steam from the past. An old painting of mine, from 24 years ago, heaven help me! 18″x14″, oil on canvas board, Tallylyn Railway No.6 Douglas crossing Dolgoch Viaduct with a short train. Not sure where all the years have gone since I painted this!
