I can hear the gravel crunch, and smell the creosote....

Perspective is excellent and you captured kind of a lonely drizzly feel. Love it.

Lonely and drizzly was definitely the atmosphere I was trying to create!

Atmosphere was definitely gray and dreary that day. Misty, too. I’m glad it impressed you that way.

I first thought it was a photoshopped photo, but now I think the brushwork is too good for it to be photoshopped.

I like it very much and am actually impressed with each of the elements in your painting. I like the one point perspective, the brushwork, the mood, the colors and the details. You also did a good job on depicting the vanishing distance in a kind of hazy way and the contrast with the immediate foreground with the use of colors: strong in the foreground and soft in the background.

I like your power line posts not being absolutely straight like your rails are. Your details are lovely and make this an excellent painting. You did a very good job in this! Thanks for posting it!
