Hasn't Moved



Hasn’t Moved


This was the second week “R” provided the same pose, still thinking about a life of trains.
This week’s medium was acrylic over a sharpie pen sketch. Last week I sketched him with ink and watercolor.
18”x 24” acrylic on canvas pad

  1. Gosh...this feels like a time-warp...he is still here, still worn out from his long day(s).
    Or...maybe I have misinterpreted...the bottle of wine...could he just have indulged just a little too much whilst waiting for the next train?
    Now I am intrigued...:)

    1. I would like to assume he ends up in this same place at the end of each week, a routine after years taking care of trains with very limited reward.

  2. Second week, second bottle... I see the change in his thoughts about a life of trains...sorting out, more assertive about what to let go, what to take with....

    1. As much as I enjoyed painting “R” in this pose, I found the second week even sadder than the first.. A life of dedication with limited reward.
