This is another image I created in Photoshop starting with a blank white file. I used a photo of a train I found on-line as my model for the locomotive and cars. The tunnel was my own vision. I played around with the colors until I got what feels like a neon look to the scene. I had to "redraw" the locomotive several times as I found the side front perspective to be difficult to get right. When I was a young man I used to enjoy drawing and painting. This work gets me very close to that feeling. Thanks for taking a look. Comments are always welcome.

Thank you very much Linda. I'm finding learning new things to actually be fun. This "fun" has put a severe crimp in my TV watching time. Who would have thunk it.

My twin 3 year old grandsons would appreciate this colorful creation. We spend hours every month at the California State Railroad Museum. We took out a family membership because we go so often. Just last weekend we took a short ride on the old train they run south along the Sacramento River for a few miles. We're planning a longer AmTrak trip to Berkeley in the next few weeks. Should be fun.
My wife loves trains too. In October we're going to take a trip through the Canadian Rockies on the Rocky Mountaineer.
Nicely done. Nice to see another sax player here. There's another guy I'm familiar with from Sax on the Web but I forget his handle right now.

Thank you 10MPlayer. I have become enamored with trains recently and I have always wanted to take a long leisurely train trip across the country. I hope you have a wonderful time. Regarding the sax, I still try to pick up one of my altos every day and play a couple tunes. My arthritic thumbs and fingers make playing ever more challenging. I have almost given up playing the tenor (just too heavy) and the soprano (too hard to hold even with a neck strap).

What is not to love about your Art-Deco works... You have the composition to a T... well done saxman71
I covered the visual of the flowers and leaves, your adding them was a masterful stroke. The dark mat gray carpet is also a needed contrast with opposing side brightness.

Thanks Don. I thought some of the vacant space needed items of interest. Thus the leaves and the flowers. I tried a couple other things besides the flower pots (a couple statues for example). They didn't make the grade. But I'm still not real crazy about the flower pots.
