As predicted in the previous post, Pat and I attended the opening reception of the first annual members' exhibition of the American Society of Railway Artists at the Station Art Gallery in Westfield, New York.  The opening went very well, and I returned the next day to have this photo of me with my painting taken and to thank Katherine and Rob Galbraith, the gallery's proprietors, for hosting the exhibition.  This gallery is particularly appropriate for railway art because it is located in a beautifully restored former New York Central passenger station.  The main line of the CSX railroad (formerly the New York Central) still runs past the building and you can see the reflection of a passing train on the glass covering my painting.
