Artist Statement for Gary Symington
|
|
|
I nearly uploaded the typical artist's statement, but what the heck- that would be boring.
Suffice it to say that I like to paint, I enjoy it when people like what I've done and doing this for a living would be way cool, but probably isn't going to happen. But in the meantime, I'm painting mostly trains when I can: evenings and weekends.
Trains: I get ribbed a little for painting them, but I like the metal pitting and textures and colorations on the old locomotives. And I'm trying not to paint too many typical train "portraits"—you know, the 3/4 view of the engine pulling the cars.
My next series may focus on current diesel locomotives—after all, who knows how long they'll be around before something supplants them, and they'll be nostalgic, too!
