Dark tracks, distant mill chimneys and a few lights dotted about - this is what a winter evening feels like here.

Could be Llandrindod ;-)
Hi Rene! yes, but maybe not the factory chimney? Maybe all coal mines there in the past? Or slate quarries - dunno.
Llandrindod is outside of the south and north wales coalfields , there are a few pit head towers around as monuments, there was talk of some mines being re opened when oil was v expensive.
That's interesting to know Simon. The old pit heads were actually very attractive places to an artist. My first sale at age 16 was a pen and ink drawing of the pit head in nearby Ashton - it was called the Snipe Pit. I always regret selling that drawing because of course it was demolished and they built a B&Q over it. Different culture, eh.
Here this is what i was thinking about ;-)

Ah Rene, why do you do these things - I think I'm gonna give up. Those houses... just scruffy, old, tall, forgotten .. so enigmatic. Your painting takes me on a journey. My painting says - stay where you are. Why.
very reminiscent of a recent trip to Kent for me. You are a real master of oil pastels.
Railways /trains have memories for most of us I suppose. It's one of life's eternal icons, the railway track. Nice to see you Olha and thanks for the compliment.
I love a Railroad painting.
Mary, so do I, but then I love rail roads (we call them railways). I love travelling by train and sometimes get to do to my daughter's in Belgium by train which takes ages as I live in the north of England and I need 3 different trains to get there - one of them going under the English Channel - great stuff.
This is very haunting... in an Dickensian sort of way... amazing!!
Thanks for your visit Maharajadhiraj. Love your tonalist pics also.
