Remembrance
Here is a view from the TGV in France (a "high-speed train" called the Train à Grande Vitesse,) as we "flew" by at 180 mph. I made a point of recalling the intensity of all those colors. Just look at the rich blues, the bold reddish brown with hints of orange, the vivid buttery and golden yellows, and intense greens of so very many shades. And so I had to paint it to remember that day in 2001. Do I have all the things correct, as it was in reality? Probably not. But I don’t think the reality is as important as getting the moment on the canvas, and conveying the mood of such a wonderful scene.
