MEET MICHAELA __________________ |

This engine (in LNER livery) - at the time
in two bits - wheels in one part of the country, boiler in another - was
commissioned by a railway lover. I endeavoured to create a scene
appropriate to the days in which she operated in Leicestershire, hence the
schoolboy on his way to boarding school but train spotting while he waits. |
Another railway enthusiast commissioned
"any railway scene" as a birthday gift for her husband. The Evening
Star happened to be at a local railway museum so I sketched and painted
it for my client. |
