Artist notes: Thank you to Richard McKenzie for providing the inspiring Severn Valley Railway reference photo for this image and giving his permission for me to paint it. I'm very fond of this painting. For me, there's something magical about the subtle colours. I've never had a particular interest in the industrial revolution but having painted this, I can see why Monet (one of my absolute favourite painters) found so much inspiration in railway subjects.
