Featuring the artwork of D. Tom Conboy

Rural Rails Crossing is a collection of my thoughts about the experience of painting rural and railroad scenes. Watercolor is my medium of choice, and my painting style is impressionistic. I am not trying to render a photographic image of the place, but to capture the "mood" of the location.

ACEO: Winter 2



Title: Winter 2*
Type: ACEO** Art Card (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Medium: Watercolor
Original/Print: Original


The snow started falling early on Christmas Eve morning. By noon, the snow was five inches deep and it was obvious the truck would not make it out this day. I ventured out on foot and headed down the country road to fetch the mail. It was a wet snow that clung to the pine and cedar tree branches. I stopped to look around and admire the beauty and peace of God's creation.

The scene in this ACEO painting is imaginary, but was inspired by my walk through the snow on Christmas Eve 2010!

**ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals. They are original paintings, but they are small (only 2.5 by 3.5 inches). An ACEO is a great way to purchase an original piece of artwork at a great price!
