Painting of Train Depot at Crawford Notch, New Hampshire

Here is an 18" x 24" acrylic painting of the old train depot at Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. It is no longer used for trains, but as an information center near the Appalachian Mountain Club's Highland Center in Crawford Notch New Hampshire. Like the painting of the bunk house I posted yesterday, I simplified the scene to contrast the geometric structure of the building and the flowing nature of the mountains. I also focused on the relationships of tone and color in the different objects with the strong atmospheric perspective present due to haze and sun shine. This was painted directly viewing the scene through an upper story window at the Highland Center over several days.

Love it Bill, especially your color choices! This is one of my favorite spots in New Hampshire that isn't on top of a mountain.

Thanks. I used to stay at the old hut in the late 80s and early 90s when I was taking mu daughters to do the 4000's footers. They moved the old hut to be the town hall in Hart NH. Bill
