Train Trees – Passing Devizes

Gary Cook RI | Watercolour and Charcoal | 12.5 x 8.5 inches

“The 09.09 from Westbury to Paddington.
I love the hypnotic blur of trees while looking out the window of a speeding train. We all know that railways are environmentally one of the best ways to travel, but the corridors of trees and vegetation that line the tracks are also doing their bit. Because humans rarely visit them, all sorts of wildlife use these green links to live in and move around. In the UK, if the 130,000 acre trackside network of embankments and cuttings were condensed together it would be one and half times the size of the Isle of Wight. That’s a lot of undisturbed biodiversity. Species dependent on these habitats are silhouetted in the painting.” – Gary
