Little Los Angeles, LA Journeys (Amtrak)

16 x 26 x 4 cm, edition of 30

From my Little Los Angeles collection: ‘celebrate the big city with a little piece of art.’

The Amtrak train - another of my favourite American icons. I love the shiny metallic exterior, contrasting with the splash of red and blue, the curve of the roof, and the fact that it is a 'double decker' - something we don't have in London, my hometown.

This piece is created from an original photograph taken on a trip from LA's Union Station to Solana beach near San Diego. I've given the work a vivid pink sky to contrast with the shimmering silver of the train. Printing the image on brushed aluminium reflects the train’s beautiful metallic finish. The image is floated in a hand-painted wood frame.

Little Los Angeles, LA Journeys is made to order. It can usually be created and delivered in around 2-3 weeks.
