Having successfully finished the latest commission of HMS Duncan, I’ve decided that it was high time I got this painting over the line as well.
It was started about a million years ago, and is I guess about 75% completed. It’s after a beautiful painting by the late David Shepherd, “On Shed”, and epicts BR Standard Class 9F number 92203, with BR Standard Class 4 number 75029 behind her to the right.
David Shepherd was a great steam train enthusiast, and bought both of these locos when they were withdrawn from service. They have been preserved as “Black Prince” and “Green Knight” respectively.
Oil on panel. 70 x 40 cms.
