"Whistle Stop", 16x20 oil painting by Stevie Denny

This was a painting I entered in last week's Centennial Exhibition "One Hundred Years Together"at the Gilbert Music and Arts Fest.  I painted this from a photo I took in Gilbert on November 12, 2011, when the Union Pacific Steam Locomotive 844 stopped in Gilbert as part of the Centennial Celebration.  Just as I was about to snap the photo, a man walked into the picture with his son on his shoulders, waving the American Flag.  I couldn't have planned it any better!

UP 844, Digital "Watercolor" Art, by Stevie Denny

Recently I was looking for apps for my iPad that I could use while traveling to sketch and design.  I came across an app called Auryn Ink for just a few dollars, and this is my first attempt at using it.  It's a great little app for drawing and painting -- it's even possible to choose different media and surfaces.  This was done as a "watercolor" painting.  We went to see the Union Pacific 844 Steam Locomotive when it came through Coolidge and Gilbert on November 12, as part of Arizona's Centennial Celebration.  This sketch is from one of the photos I took that day -- sketched with my fingers, no stylus.
