This painting is a continuation of my abstract train engines. I have been drawing and painting engines since 2010 and find inspiration in the geometric shapes and colors. I complete a detailed pencil drawing first and then transfer my design to a gessoed hardboard. Most of the details are edited, and I simplify shapes. This particular composition zeroes in on a couple wheels. After transferring the design, I chose from my collection of hand-painted acrylic papers. This piece will be exhibited at Artisan Gallery 218, Valley Junction in early October 2019.
