I decided to give watercolor a try. But since I haven't really done anything in the medium since grade school, I did a couple of experiments. First was this old rusty turnout tredle.
That worked well enough that I didn't even bother finishing it before moving on to the next experiment.
This one taught me that I need to move up to larger paper. So I did a goat.
Which told me I needed better tools so I went shopping before I moved on. This is the result of that shopping trip.
I decided to focus on locomotives that are in museums or excursion service. By going this route I can count on a lot of source material from the net, books and other sources that one old grainy photo often can't provide.
On the drawing board:
So. Is it art?

PS: these take me about a week from start to finish. Unless I have to do a garage sale.
