“The Slim Princess”
After ten long days and 60 hours of work, I’ve finished this painting for a very special occasion. @thesunsetempire and I will be heading out on July 3rd to see this locomotive, Southern Pacific No. 18, steam up for the first time in over 60 years. I will be presenting this painting to the team of Carson & Colorado Railway volunteers who restored this relic at the Eastern California Museum in Independence, CA, right in the heart of the Owens Valley where these little giants toiled in the scorching sun for half a century.
If you would like to order a painting in this style, I am currently open for commissions of portraiture, landscapes, critters, and industrial tech! Inquiries can be sent to [email protected]

An aerial view of the High Sierra as of Saturday, April 9th. There is still snow but it is certainly no longer a robust snowpack. The top image features the Owens Valley looking over the White Mountains with the High Sierra in the background. The lake in the middle left photo is Lake Tahoe. Note the ski runs visible in the bottom of the photo … some of the lower runs appear to be snowfree. The bottom photo is the distinctive Mono Lake. The low point southwest of the lake is Tioga Pass.
