Trolley crossing over tunnel bridge with backlighting through foliage vortex. Mineral Infused Watercolors of *Lapis Lazuli, Jade, Serpentine, and Piemontite Genuine used. Thr light on the top of the trolley indicates speed and dynamic motion.

ARTWORK’s Story: It’s nice to get away! The San Diego ‘Trolley’ MTS can take you all over the city spanning 45 minutes north, south, or east to beautiful nearby destinations. This art piece signifies Hope and Wonder. The transition from dark to light conveys a passage of time as the trolley zips by overhead. This Original Watercolor painting was painted on location ‘en plein air’ in El Cajon, CA where the famous Taylor Guitar Company is headquartered minutes away. El Cajon marks the most eastern station for the local MTS. Piece juried by famous Italian Art Voice Pierre Guidetti for his 2022 ‘Go Paint Art Show’ at the San Diego Watercolor Society in March 2022. The painting uses several mineral-infused watercolors to include: Lapis Lazuli, Jade, Serpentine, and Piemontite Genuine (see sky and foliage). Lapis Lazuli was prized in ancient civilizations and was used extensively in ancient Egyptian royal jewelry, think King Tut’s death mask. With this in mind, I wanted to create a luxurious vacation feeling of getting away through the depth and texture of the foliage.

Archival Properties: Original Watercolor using traditional and Mineral Infused Watercolors of Lapis Lazuli, Jade, Serpentine, and Piemontite Genuine. (*From Paint Manufacturer, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors: Lapis Lazuli mined in the mountains of South America, this gem-quality pigment is a subtle blue-grey, with a classic color that is light reflective, due to the irregular and angular shape of the pigment particles).

The piece is available and comes framed, matted ready to hang. Frame is matte black aluminum, plexiglass, archival quality mat, colors used 100+ year lightfastness, wire hanging system. All pieces are hand-stamped with Artist’s Seal on the back. The price of artwork covers framing. Great Gift for a Trolley, Metro, or Travel Lover!
