Railways in Watercolor - http://www.firstnethou.com/civiletto/
Paul Civiletto is a watercolor painter whose work focuses on industrial
and transportation scenes. Currently, his primary subjects are depictions
of contemporary American railways. His focus is to develop paintings from
atypical angles. The older paintings in this series tended to be illustrative
and accurate in detail, where as newer subjects have a more loose, painterly
style.
the Rail Art of John Winfield - http://www.winfieldrailart.com/
John Winfield is nationally known in the railroad community for his
colorful paintings and prints. Depicting locomotives of ”fallen flags,”
as well as current roads, in settings that recall the golden age or railroading,
he incorporates both the painting and printing processes. His art leans
toward the transitional steam-to-diesel railroad era. A lifelong railfan,
it was only natural to depict rail subject matter as his primary focus.
