Title: 51 Frazer Vagabond in Watercolor
Post by: dragondust on March 02, 2018, 12:49:56 PM
Frazer enthusiasts, attached is my new watercolor of a small turn-of-the-century railroad station on the old Atlanta and West Point line (now CSX). One of our two Central of Georgia streamliners, the Man O' War used to make its run through Madras on its Atlanta to Columbus route. The station has been purchased and is soon to be moved. I'm glad I captured it prior! The picture includes a 1951 Frazer Vagabond--hatch open--waiting for a passenger to load their luggage as the train departs for points east to Atlanta. Limited edition remarqued 22 x 13 Giclee prints on heavy premium stock are available by contacting me at: jcmdc@windstream.net.

I do like this drawing, even though the front clip of the Vagabond is missing.

The front clip is indeed missing--victim of one of two schools about that. I was taught in art composition to be wary of painting too many subjects of interest that appear contrived. Much of our automotive art these days does just that. This is no defense...it's just one way of seeing things and even though the clip is missing, I think it made a better overall composition. However, I promise some future K-F art with the entire car intact! Check out my earlier posting of the "Frazer Gotham Convertible"--it hasn't been subject to the guillotine.  Thanks for your comments and observations.

Thanks for making some nice Kaiser-Frazer art work available.  There is not much to be found anywhere and these would look nice on anyone's den wall.

Gordie,
Your comments are appreciated. I figured my K-F friends would be the hardest critics, unless one counts the railroad buffs!
