Small Canvas - GWR Locomotive

I sketched this one out yesterday, and painted it in one session this afternoon.

It's another small canvas, and I have to say that I'm quite pleased with it. Comparing it with my very first acrylic painting, I think you can see some improvement: -

I include the Deltic painting in the comparison as well because that's one of my favourite paintings I've produced, and I think that the steam locomotive is comparable, and that's apart from the similarities in the palettes of both paintings. OK, painting isn't a competition, but all the same it's nice to think that you're getting better at what you do.
