Description
Have this thing with trams - especially at night they are like a big chinese lantern sailing around in the dark..Came to think of Miyasaki who has trams in some of his movies when I made this one - somehow they seem a little bit out of this world in a nice way..Some of my other interpretations of the tram theme : Watercolor, W&N, Hahnenmuhle paper, 24*36 cmRelated content

Lovely subject tricky to paint. I really like the tram in the dark you handled the available light well. By the way we still have electric trams here in the the Isle of Man also a steam railway. Whether they will survive the virus could be in question our economy has been hit hard and we are independent of the UK and have pay our own way.

I do love trams (and steam engines of all sizes)... Last ones I rode were in Oslo - don't remember being on one when I lived in DK...

Oh, You’ve lived in Denmark? We had trams in Århus ( my hometown) and Copenhagen some 40-50 years ago, but they are long gone..
this one is from Soller, Mallorca, and still going strong..

I lived in Copenhagen back in the early 1980's - and worked in the Danish sector of the North Sea for a year during the "hook-up" of the Tyra field...
I still have a friend there (close to Holte) whom I visit every few years... I have also lived in Oslo and regularly visited Finland as well as a few short stay-overs in Gothenburg...
My colouring is fairly "Nordic" although I am most at home here in Portugal

Thank s for the kind comment! I’ve recently given some thoughts as to what makes a motif worthwhile painting - and my conclusion is that’ s the mood that eventually attracts..one thing is the technical issues, perspective, values, etc, but if the mood is caught, my day is done..
