Description
Based on a photograph of Broad Street Station, Richmond, Virginia. In the foreground is a Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Governor-class: a large, modern passenger locomotive. In the background are an Atlantic Coast Line purple and silver diesel beside a streamlined Norfolk & Western 4-8-2. The building still exists, though no longer as a station. The concourse over the tracks has been removed, as well as the tracks, but the main building serves as Richmond's Science Museum.
Painted in 1981 for a friend who requested a large painting- the original is 30" x 40"- acrylic on canvas. I did a monochrome underpainting first and then glazed color on it- a technique I had never used before and wanted to try. Worked pretty well- though the underpainting looked so much like a black and white photograph I hated to do it at irst!
