Transport Heritage Expo

In Transport Heritage Expo, children and adults got excited to the locomotions at Central Station! We all love steam and choo choo trains. On 26 September 1855, the first passenger railway line opened from Sydney to Parramatta in NSW. In the event, the steam engine operated between Central and Hurstville in 60 minutes for return. All the passengers, young and old looked so happy. I waved at them all. 
Children and family often came to me and enjoyed a chat. They delightedly took a photo with this work -- that made me very happy.   
Special thanks for all the event staff who handled so many people and assisted people with disability. It was beautiful to see an event crew friendly leading children into a locomotion and another crew assisting people with impairment in eye sight. No accident, no injury! Cleaners did a great job. The team appreciated my feedback and we've become friends! Wooo, hooo!    
I will develop watercolour paintings from these sketches. Steam and washes are very interesting. I want to put colours on the black and white below. 
It was nice to relax myself after the illustrations. Now, I will move onto other projects and commissioned work.  
Friends, Happy Painting! Have a creative week!

  3. How wonderful! There was an old steam train which ran through out town, very rarely, when I was a child. I remember when the steam whistle blew, my father would get in his car and drive to the train tracks to see it - I think I have that inbred love of steam trains and have only been on 2 trains in my life (once in Australia!)

    1. Thank u, sweet Rhonda! Certainly, your deep love of steam engines are from a happy childhood memory. In "Little House on the Prairie," or "Little House on Rocky Ridge," Mama told children Mr Edward raced a steam train and won = got bet! What a peaceful time that a train was not so fast! Come to Sydney. I'll take you to that event. Best wishes, Sadami

  4. Me gustan mucho esos trenes antiguos y los has dibujado maravillosamente. Te felicito!
    Por qué eran tan bellas esas viejas máquinas? Lo serán en el futuro las de hoy día?
    No lo sé, pero dibujadas y pintadas son muy hermosas.
    Un abrazo Sadami
