“Cutting Edge Travel.”

Birthday painting for @thesunsetempire depicting them as an otter, based on a photo I took during our July 4th trip to the Nevada State Railroad Museum. The knife-edge nose, brass porthole windows, and art-noveau vector art of this McKeen Motor Car provided a regal experience for passengers, though the finicky and unreliable mechanical setup doomed the McKeens to an early scrapping, their duties passed pack to more conventional passenger trains hauled by steam locomotives within a few years.

If you would like to order a painting in this style, I am currently open for commissions of portraiture, landscapes, critters, and industrial tech!
