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.
A Painting project just finished. British Railways’ Britannia Class Locomotive 70009 ‘Alfred the Great’.
“Hush Hush on the Scotsman”. Gresley’s W1 4-6-4 locomotive, in its original experimental high pressure boiler form, leaves King Cross hauling the Flying Scotsman service. My latest (digital) painting project, just completed last night.
“Impression of Weymouth Quay” – The Channel Islands express meeting the boat on Weymouth Quay station. Me experimenting with a looser pairing style. Weymouth in Dorset in the 1930s. Sadly the station on the Quay is closed nowadays and the trains no longer go through the town to get there.
“Royal Claud” painted digitally in a pastel style using iPad and stylus. The London and North Eastern Railway kept two former Great Eastern “Claud Hamilton” locomotives in an especially splendid version of their Apple Green livery to work Royal Trains from Kings Cross to Wolverton, the station for Sandringham.
Should anyone find it of interest the software tells me this took 15 and a quarter hours of painting time (I must be getting quicker in my old age) and 15,192 ‘brush’ strokes.
Experiments with different digital illustration techniques in a pen and ink style. Great Central Railway Atlantic Locomotive No.258, Viscount Cross.
