The Sleeper Train tonal paintings in my “Motherhood Hit Me Like a Train” series reflect the all-consuming, always-on-call role of motherhood. Many nights rocking newborn babies felt like I was on a never-ending train to nowhere. As a new parent I felt derailed as an artist, but always knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel as the children grow. I eventually found a way to get back on track and set a new route.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis original artwork is painted with black ink on heavy weight watercolor paper. Instead of paint brushes, I use toy trains to make black and grey lines on the white page. The line artwork is matted and framed in a black matt frame.
