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: Sunset Sentinels

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







This has to be one of my all-time favorites of the ACEO paintings. I started this painting with a strong orange wash. Next, I floated in some yellow for the sunset and crimson for the sky. This was allowed to dry overnight. The mid and foreground details were added the very next day.

I gave some serious thought to keeping this painting for myself, but decided to list it on Etsy. Needless to say, I will not be disappointed if this ACEO painting does not sell!!

**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
