Invited me to submit one of my paintings for the anual exhibition of 'Artist's of Mosman' this year I actually submited one of my favorite's titled 'Icon' one of the most difficult paintings I have undertaken in years the subject being Australia's most famious train the 3801bult in the 40's.
It was created without photographic reference except for the 3801 which I stumbled accross a few years ago in a sideing outside Maitland railway station but not at the angle I have painted it,it was quit an undertaking to draw the whole picture using free hand perspective, particularly where perspective reverses itself as the rails converge into the turntable then imagine how the play of light would effect the colours through a steam filled roof,and the braisier on the floor. -----
