The Train - My Fine Art Painting

The Train
Original Fine Art Painting
Acrylic on canvas mounted on wood stretcher bars
20.4 by 25.5 cm, 8 by 10 inches

This is my painting of the train. You can see my blurred edges of the train and wheels and my diagonal shapes. These contribute to the feelings of movement.

This has been posted on my Zazzle shop for prints and cards. The original painting has not yet been posted for sale. http://www.zazzle.com/arlenebabadartist*

Movement in My Painting of a Train

My painting of the train is completed except for a last minute check and varnish. I wrote about Turner’s and Monet’s paintings. They achieved movement and atmosphere. In my painting, I blurred edges of the train and wheels. My shape of the train and the lines of the tracks are diagonal. There is repetition in colour and lines. These techniques contribute to the movement of the train in my painting.
