OK, here's somthing I can't really decide on. Clean and pretty, or:
A lot of fascination in the texture and different surfaces of the 'work in progress' (have you ever seen the "World of Work" etching series?) and Chris May's view of the large, rusty Santa Fe 'Boxpok by Baldwin' driver is iconic, BUT
following John D. MacDonald's views about science fiction, if you're going to paint the 'work in progress', be sure to paint in a couple of volunteers working on it, with appropriate composition to develop a human sense.
It's one thing to paint the living, breathing steam engines, another to capture some of the weary essence of traditional railroading. But a restoration 'work in progress' is just a still-life study without some human dynamism in it...
