whilst at the midland railway centre yesterday, I spotted this old rolling stock chassis awaiting renovation, it was corroded and stained but had a beauty reminiscent of an art deco design, so I did a detailed watercolour using the fine camel brush, then effects esoterica / van gogh brush, and then opened the image up in paint shop pro, and used the softness filter at default setting to give the image an ethereal glow, in effect adding a glamour effect to a piece of engineering.

Life is very nice, but it has no shape. The object of art is actually to give it some, and to do it by every artifice possible - truer than the truth. - Jean Anouilh 1910-87
