11″x14″ acrylic, 2009. Our nephew Sean is choo-choo CRAZY. (Or should I say “loco?”) So when his little brother, who was born this week, made his presence known, I painted this wooden train as a gift for the boys. I was quite relieved that Sean liked it despite the lack of a certain familiar face at the front of the engine!
“oooooooooooh can ya hear it comin ’round the bend /
i reckon that she knows she’s gonna meet a friend /
she’s the only one that’ll sound that way: on the atchison, topeka, and the santa fe! /
here she comes….woo-woo, a-wooo, a-wooo-wooo-wooo-hey! kids! you better grab the rail!”
best train song ever.
best train portrait ever.

I love these. Thanks for sharing.
