A train moves through the night, its illuminated carriages dissolving into reflection across the water. Colour stretches and shifts across the surface, disrupting the stillness of the landscape and turning a familiar scene into something momentary and fluid.
The painting captures this brief transformation, where movement and light combine to create something that exists only for a moment before passing. Inspired by the Dartmouth Steam Railway And River Boat Company.
