from the train window
landscapes revealed, field by field
home beckons
Over the last week I’ve been more deliberate about pulling out a mini-watercolour palette and pad towards the end of my commuter train trip back home at the end of the day. Often I find myself so tired by this point in the day, and therefore end up wasting time scrolling on my phone.
But as spring emerges and the daylength gets longer, the views out the train window are lovely, especially as I transition from city centre, to the suburbs, and finally to the fields and forests as I get closer to my hometown. I tried to capture some of these in watercolour (with a bit of pen), but also used my imagination for some, and used the views out of the window as inspiration for unseen landscapes or landscapes in my mind. I hope you enjoy!
