Viaduct

This painting captures a close, textural view of an old train viaduct, centering on the bold yellow “13 FT” clearance marking against rusted steel. Layers of weathered metal, rivets, and crumbling concrete reveal decades of use, exposure, and passing trains. Soft sky tones contrast with the heavy, industrial structure, highlighting the balance between decay and endurance. The piece turns an overlooked piece of infrastructure into a quiet study of time, strength, and the stories carried beneath the tracks.
