Pecos Street, Denver

I seem to be drawn (no pun inteneded) to railroad crossing scenes without trains. I'm sure a good psychoanalyst could tell me why. I think it's the starkness. The general dirtiness. Who knows... :)

As long as you don't end up in front of one, .... (-:

Lovely painting, good lead inn and nice color use!!

You like painting places but you don't want the train in it because you won't be on it and you like to travel and see places. This is a 5 x 7 nice little size.

Your work is one of my favorite surprises on the internet. What's the largest canvas you've painted? I'm surprised by how small some of them are -- for some reason I imagine them to be much larger. This one, for instance, seems life-sized in my mind's eye.

Hi Rene. Thanks. I'll stay off the tracks. ;)

Thanks TechnoBabe. I think you are probably correct.

Hi Mrs. L. Nice to meet you. Thanks for the kind words. I think 30" x 40" is probably my largest yet. I do love doing these small knife paintings though. They're so much fun.
