CROATIA VIRTUAL PAINTOUT

This painting was done for Bill Guffey's VIRTUAL PAINTOUT blog.
Railroad Crossing (16x12 oil on canvas panel)
I hiked all over Corsica and finally found this site just north of Donja Dobra. [Ref photo]
I liked the way the tracks fade into the fog. I drew the crossing closer to the crossing guard, which brought more ties into the composition. The painting is not finished. The ties need more grays, the power lies at the top need to be darker and I may want to add darks in the railroad bed.
