I have been thinking of painting Ships for years. (However, I always felt I'd need a studio overlooking the river where I could paint the real thing in real time...and in unobserved comfort. How spoiled is that!) Now I am thinking of painting Trains, thanks to my railway-obsessed son. Transport, industry, structure, system, movement, landscape, the past, yearning for far-away places...old things...broken down things...dirty things...loved things...A sense of time and speed very different from that evoked by computers today.
...Why does the inside of that big train car remind me of an art gallery?

What an amazing machine sitting on the tracks! It looks very Mad Max. And great textures inside the car...the surface is effortless artistry, without artistic effort. It just needed you to come along and photograph it.
