LOCOMOTIVE QUARTERLY COVER ART

NYO&W No. 405


From 2000 until 2006, New London artist Robert Hauschild provided the paintings which graced the covers of the periodical Locomotive Quarterly. Over 24 of these will be exhibited in our latest show: Locomotive Quarterly Covers, Watercolors by Robert Hauschild.

The show will run from June 25 until October 12, 2009 at our Oliver O. Jensen Gallery inside the River Valley Junction display building adjacent to the Essex depot. Gallery hours will coincide with our normal operating schedule.
There will be an opening reception open to the public from 6:00 until 8:00 the evening of June 25th. Steve Barry, editor of Railfan Magazine will be on hand to make a few remarks on Locomotive Quarterly and to introduce the artist, who will share some recollections about his relationship with the magazine.
Each of the original, watercolor paintings will be available for sale as well as back issues of Locomotive Quarterly.
