Art imitating

 Art imitating art imitating life !   Not that my little railway in any way could be considered art, but I couldn't resist assembling that phrase.  The painter Michael Barnes,  a longtime family friend who paints some lovely landscapes,  has been added to the railway using the superb Phoenix / S&D Models metal casting #OF 122.  Painted with Tamiya acrylics.  I'm no expert at painting figures,  but I do enjoy the challenge.

The easel has a resized re-printed image of the same scene and colorized with very light colour pencil application.  The image doesn't come across as clear in the photos as it does in real life.  All for now,  have a nice week everyone.
