“Abandoned Train”
Charcoal; 24 in x 18 in
The first thing that stands out is the artist’s technical skill. The details in the charcoal are prominent and exceptional. The train is placed at a good perspective, giving the main focal point a sense of loneliness. The image itself–an old-fashion abandoned single locomotive–exudes a quiet strength.
