A decade or so ago I did a series of studies of railroad subjects,
intended to celebrate the history of railroading in southwestern
Virginia. The small graphite and ink sketch to the right is an initial idea for a poster,
incorporating the mountainous terrain, an old switch tower and an
approaching train. The poster was intended for a historical society in
Clifton Forge, Virginia.
After several iterations and sketches using traditional materials, I decided on the layout below, then colored it digitally to explore the final effect before completing the painting for printing. Not long after that the agreement fell through and the painting was never made.
