All Aboard!

(C) 2018 Dale DiMauro

On the train ride home from Philadelphia, which is long, I painted a watercolor. Even though it was a challenging painting environment with crammed quarters, vibrations and such, I was satisfied with my efforts, nonetheless.

This was my set-up once I lowered the lap tray. I attached a sheet of watercolor to the top of my sketchbook with a clip-on watercolor container which has a screw-on lid. However, this is not my usual palette, but I made do.

The conductor mentioned that he could not recall the last time he saw an artist on the train, even though he himself had gone to design school. In addition, a traveler behind us requested to take a photograph of my watercolor. So you never what will happen when you put your work out there. This is in contrast to the majority of the travelers plugged in to their devices during the trip.
