About this piece

A red locomotive punctuates a sunlit landscape of rust-colored earth, tropical foliage, and deeply folded mountain slopes. Curving rails draw the eye across the foreground, while a close tree trunk frames the distant ridge beneath a brilliant blue, cloud-filled sky.

The story

I framed the little red engine against the mountain, drawn to the difference in their scale. Its painted metal caught the sunlight with a brightness that stood apart from the blue slopes and green leaves. Across the foreground, the rails made a gentle curve through the red earth. I kept the nearby tree in the frame, letting its branches hold the sky above a scene that seemed poised between a journey and a pause.
