Summer of Color - red

Here is my little red caboose :)  This is in Helper, Utah and sits in an empty lot.  I am not entirely sure of the history of it but as that is a coalmining and railroad town, I imagine it must have some significance.  Maybe not though.  Next time I am there, will have to check it out.  I drew this and then colored it with colored pencils and pastels.   I usually am an oil painter but I was too lazy to get out my paints! 


No wings - but I had several ideas for red this week so if it is allowed, i may do another project with wings. 

Hugs and God Bless,
Becky

    Becky, It's so great to see someone creating their own original art. A red caboose is perfect for the RED challenge.

    This is a great red art piece! I love the history n' magic of trains~ I remember when I was young; an artist bought one and lived in it. He was a character~ Great idea~
