End of the shift at the Colliery

Steve Hall's open Summer Competition. Yet again a challenge to paint the above scene, probably South Wales and probably not in recent times. Well I decided to keep it fairly dark, a little bit of warmth in the sky and a few figures walking down the tracks to have some interest in that middle area. My entry is below. Any watercolor artists out there, please have a go at Steve's Autumn Competition. Curved railway lines are a bit of a challenge, so simplify them and miss out a few sleepers etc...

This really hits the spot for me Tim as I spent 9 years working as a mine surveyor at a coal mine.
