Description:

The watercolor was painted from a photograph I had taken on a May afternoon in Meta, Missouri back in 2006. The structures on the right are part of the Diamond Pet Food plant. The grain elevator on the left is Meta Feed. The town of Meta used to be a railroad town. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific (CRI&P) once ran through town. The line through Meta was never officially abandoned, but it has not witnessed a train in over 30 years. The CRI&P went out of business on March 31 of 1980. Many communities along the line have tried to get rail service back to their towns. There are rumors of rail service resuming out to Meta, but it has not happened yet. The line is owned by AmerenUE and is currently operated by Progressive Rail which is headquartered in Minnesota.

I chose to paint this scene because I liked the composition. I found the structures, vehicles, and the highway sign made an interesting scene. When I look back at this painting I remember the day very well. It was very warm (almost 95 degrees) and my jeep�s air-conditioner was not working. I am not a hot-weather person, so I was really missing the air-conditioner. My wife was riding along with me and we sought relief from the heat in a local convenience store. The store�s air-conditioner was having trouble keeping up with the heat, so it was only a little bit cooler inside the store. We ordered some delicious fried chicken and a couple of large sodas for the road. Overall, the day was very enjoyable---even without the air-conditioner!
