Railroad and Train Memorabilia Watercolor Print --

This watercolor print is one of 100 from a limited edition third run.

The print measures 5" x 7" in a cream or white 8" x 10" matte and is suitable for framing. The print is signed and numbered and is portrait (vertically) oriented.

I painted the original from a display of my grandfather's B&O Railroad keepsakes. The painting features a lantern, handkerchief, rail spike and cap. All of the men in my family were railroaders, so this print is particularly special to me. It's a great addition to any collection of railroad memorabilia.

Most of my works are done using a variety of materials -- primarily watercolors, but also pencil, inks and acrylics. I use a color-layering process that I have developed over time. I most often begin with a pencil sketch from a photograph, and then use black ink and black acrylic paint to define lines and heighten dark areas. Watercolor pencils are sometimes used for added definition, and then vibrant tubes of watercolors are used for the bulk of the piece. Most of my original watercolors are in the 9" x 12" range and can take up to twenty hours to complete.

If you like this print, but want a larger size, please contact me. I also offer prints in 11" x 14" mattes. I'm happy to work with you.

Pricing is as follows: 5x7 print in 8x10 matte - $19.99
8x10 print in 11x14 matte - $31.00

FYI: I no longer accept commissions through my Etsy shop, and do not do paintings upon request. "Custom orders" refers to the size of the print and matte color. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me via Etsy convo.
