The magical anguish of being on the right track

L’angoisse féerique d’être sur la bonne voie.

In the heart of an endless winter, a commanding “Atlantic” steam engine

charges forth with unwavering determination. 

It carries not just the passengers, but the weight of their dreams, the magic of their human spirit, on a journey towards self discovery.


The twilight  indigo fades into the  pale bright  yellow of a midnight sun. 

 somewhere between night and day,  between dream and reality .


As the locomotive plows through a  flurry of snowflakes, two large 

reflective portals flank its path. They mirror the journey, they reflect the choices made, they mark the inexorable passing of time.

Below is an earlier version of the painting which pertains more to the word "anguish", while the other has more to do with the "right track".





Below is the 1998 version of the art, the one used in the original "stochasticon" of "Lost Ocean.
