Union Pacific Line Canvas Print

I live pretty close to these railroad tracks that are still actively used by the Union Pacific. This town used to be a railway hub for the Rock Island Line and we still have a restored train station and museum and streets and stuff named after the Rock Island Railroad. I like hearing the horns blow as the engineer warns drivers that he is coming through. Most of our crossings have arms and lights now but there is still this one close to my house that leaves it strictly up to you the car driver to watch and listen for the oncoming train. On the day I took the photo that I used to make this painting the train was actually parked so I could take my time and get a good shot.

Thank you for your visit to my gallery and I hope you enjoy viewing my work.To my buyers, thanks for your support of an independent artist!

I am a life long lover of art and nothing makes me happier than when I am creating it. My style is an eclectic mix of colors and emotions that I believe will offer a little something for everyone. I like to experiment and invent new techniques in creating art with my digital tools and one of my goals is always to make digital mixed media artwork that doesn't look digital. Lately I have been enjoying creating retro pop art and colorful minimalist works. Be sure to check in often to see what I am doing next! My artwork is characterized by vibrant colors and muted details that draw the viewer in.
