n their search for beauty among unexpected painting subjects, artists wander around airports, under railroad trestles, into junkyards, and around abandoned vehicles. They consider these subjects in terms of both abstract elements — shapes, values, colors, and edges — and realistic content. We offer a sample of paintings of trains, planes, and automobiles as identified and presented by outstanding artists from around the country.
