"The Gare Saint-Lazare, Arrival of a Train," Claude Monet, 1877.

You all know Monet.

This is one of a series of 12 he did inside a Paris train station. It's also regarded as one of this greatest works, with the billows of smoke/steam filling the cavernous terminal, and the blues that dominate the color scheme.

The series depicted the station in different weather conditions and from different perspectives. It also differs somewhat from the Impressionist cliche of gardens and parks; here Monet looks at industrialization in a world shedding the past and taking on modernity.

And now these trains seem quaint and old-fashioned.....

From the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA.

An Impressionist painting. We're standing in a vast train station. To the right, a train is arrived, the clouds of steam/smoke filling the vast area. Several figures are standing, watching it come in. To the left, a train car stands on the tracks, and to the far left we can see a crowd milling about. The canvas is dominated by blues, with some touches of other colors.

I’m glad to get to this finish with this. Working in this size makes it take exponentially longer than normal :/ . Today the weather was getting sunny against earlier forecasts and I could be on location one last time to paint in the shadows. Would have made the rest with fotos otherwise I suppose, since the trees are getting too springy soon.

Plein air Oilpainting of some trees and a row of houses on a slope. It is sunny and there is shadow. 40 x 30 cm oil on panel made life in 4 sessions.
