Starlight Auto

Along the tracks just outside of Philadelphia. This is a wedge shaped building that I've been watching over time, though not long enough to have chronicled the fading of the original graphics painted on its back. It's like watching an hour hand move.

The Replacement

2014, Oil on Hardboard, 5"x 7"
Scenes From a Train
#178


I'm back after a long hiatus due to illness. This was truly the lost summer. Hopefully I can resume my painting schedule and try to get back to "daily" painting.

This is a scene from the Amtrak line going to NYC. I was drawn the thin band of light streaming through between the two bridges. Aside from the obvious tonal contrast, there is a distinct contrast in age between the to spans. Painting old concrete never gets old.
