This week’s art is a tiny pastel crayon study of a potential future painting…possibly to be re-done in the style of Edward Hopper. Inspired by a couple of photos I’ve taken in train yards over the last several years, this was done on the back of an oversized index card, just to try to jot down the composition and colors.

Once scanned, one side was cropped off because I didn’t go all the way to that side, instead using that space to make additional notes.

it’s not much yet, but it should look cool if I ever get around to finishing it. I’ve been putting it off because of all the detail that the gravel will need.
