Back In the Saddle

Fri Nov 27, 2009, 6:49 PM
Over a year since last entry, but it summed up pretty much what I was doing here, at least as far as the model photography is concerned. A year ago, my internet access was limited to no more than twice a week with difficulty, but about a month ago I received a surplus lap-top from a friend in return for a favor I did for him. Well.

The laptop works on the WiFi from my landlord, which I could not figure out how to access using my old iMac. I still use the iMac for graphics and stuff: scanning, PhotoShop and such, and a thumb drive allows me to transfer files back and forth with ease.

Anyway, finding more of my old art work, so I'll be posting it here. I do have this year's Christmas card done, but I think I'll hold off posting for a few days- until I've given some of them out!

I like your work.

I have been thinking about putting a steam engine inone of my works. I have never painted a train, but it looks like fun.

Thank you- living in Florida, I am familiar with sunsets under hurricane conditions!

The trick in painting trains is getting the perspective and foreshortening right. As for steam locomotives- they produce the most wonderful atmospheric effects in any kind of weather. Aside from the smoke and exhaust steam from the stack, there is steam and vapor leaking from all sorts of pipes and joints, safety valves, and the whistle. On starting, huge jets of stem shoot out sideways at the bottom of the cylinders from the cocks, which allow any water that condensed to be blow out before it damages a piston. (Water doesn't compress- steel will break before water.)

The colors in hurricane sunsets are sometime spectacular.

I think I will try to do a steam engine in my next painting. I was going to have the DeLorean waiting at the train tracks. Thank you for the tips.

I road the Durango-Silverton steam engine back in the early 70’s, when I was a kid. We have one in East Texas that still runs. I want to take my kids on it sometimes. And then there is the train museum in Galveston. It is really neat, although I don’t think Galveston is the best environment for an out train exhibit.
