Winter Steam|Michelle Williams
A locomotive waits beneath a low winter sky, its steam dissolving into the cold air. Painted on board in restrained greys and umbers, the work owes a clear debt to the Impressionists' fascination with railways and weather. The warm glow of the firebox is the single point of heat in an otherwise frozen scene.

A quietly moving little painting — that single glow from the firebox does so much work. Real period atmosphere without being twee.

The restraint is what sells it: mostly greys, and yet you feel the cold. Lovely handling on the board.
