I love how the form of the diesel engine and cars are given more heft by the voluminous swirls of smoke and dust. I'll take your paintings of blight and snapshots of reality over Kincade's paintings of fluff and fakery any day.

Dynamite Bill. Is it 2008 heading down the tracks or 2009 rolling in? All the best to you in the New Year from snow covered Maine.

The great plumes of smoke remind me of a Buster Keaton film. Happy New Year!
