Miniature watercolor - old steam train - Great Smoky Mountains Railway

This watercolor is 3.25 x 1.35". I photo'd it with USA 1 cent coin, for size comparison.
"Fading Past 0702" - From what I understand, this train no longer runs through Dillsboro, NC. So it's a glimpse of our fading past.
This painting is on it's way to a miniature exhibition in Pennsylvania.
Seems so funny at times how art traverses the world. From conception in NC, to birth in OR, now to PA, and who knows from there. Probably back to OR, unless sold - which would delight me no end. I never know what is better - win an award, or sell your work. Both are an awesome acknowledgement to an artist.

Even though I don't have a website with them FASO (Fine Art Studios Online), on impulse I decided to pay to enter this month's contest. If you're on FACEBOOK, I'd love for you to 'like' my entry. It is a juried contest and likes don't help me win, but it's fun! I entered "Sunkist Starburst", an 11x14" acrylic on canvas.


I would be most grateful if you would 'like' my painting:

You could make a difference to someone.

Please share this. It is a fellow artist's sister - just happened this past week. She was instantly blinded and is fighting for her life. Just $1 would help or even an encouraging word. http://www.indiegogo.com/RoryNeedsHelp I have an address if needed. Email me.

You can donate on that site.

UPDATE:

A sincere thank you to all that helped in this quest. It is really unfortunate that Rory did not make it through. Condolences to all.

Thank you.
