Nadine Charlsen, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Gina Malone<\/p>\n<p>Artist Nadine Charlsen had already planned a trip out West to teach watercolor classes when she learned that a beloved train was going her way. \u201cIt turned out that I could attach a 500-mile \u2018side trip\u2019 through western Kansas and follow the Union Pacific 4014 \u2018Big Boy\u2019 locomotive from Salina, KS to Sharon Springs, KS,\u201d says Charlsen.<\/p>\n<p>Built in 1941, the steam locomotive Big Boy was restored from 2016\u201319 using parts from other defunct Big Boy trains and operates as part of Union Pacific\u2019s heritage fleet. It made its first excursion run in May 2019 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. COVID kept Big Boy home last year along with the rest of the country, but in August and September of this year it resumed excursion operations with stops in Fort Worth, Houston, New Orleans, North Little Rock, St. Louis and Denver. The five-week tour included whistle-stops in more than 90 other communities along the way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47124\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47124\" class=\"wp-image-47124\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-Sleeping-in-Salina.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Nadine Charlsen\" width=\"400\" height=\"472\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sleeping in Salina. Nadine Charlsen, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Charlsen was born 40 miles north of Sharon Springs and so was familiar with the country through which she and Big Boy were traveling. A Union Pacific app showed her the train\u2019s progress in real time. \u201cI stayed in Salina where it was parked overnight,\u201d Charlsen says. \u201cI have photos of the train as it entered the station and as it left in the morning. I followed the train from Salina along Old Highway 40 to Hays the next night and to Sharon Springs the third night.\u201d She was able to follow the train or get ahead of it by a few miles the entire way. \u201cI stopped and took photos in a couple of little towns and out in the flat fields of Kansas,\u201d she says. In Kit Carson, CO, she and Big Boy parted ways: she traveling south to Santa Fe for her scheduled class and the train heading north to its home in Cheyenne, WY.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt I needed to get photographs of the actual train, in motion and stopped, with different backgrounds to continue painting my train series,\u201d says Charlsen. Since her journey, she has completed five watercolor paintings of Big Boy, the largest locomotive ever built in the US. The new paintings join her series Crossing the Tracks. Charlsen also spent some time in the area around Santa Fe photographing and painting landscapes for her America series.<\/p>\n<p>The size of Charlsen\u2019s paintings are part of their appeal for fellow artist and former 310 ART studio mate Katrina Chenevert who owns and proudly displays work by Charlsen in her home. \u201cWhen she started painting trains, the bigger size (usually around 30\u201dx 40\u201d) really gave the trains a platform that makes them appear to be moving, followed by a sense of smell envisioned by the steam surrounding some of her engines,\u201d says Chenevert. \u201cIn other words, her work, although abstracted, contains enough detail to involve all the senses of the viewer.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47127\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47127\" class=\"wp-image-47127\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-4014-Morning-In-Sharon-Springs.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-4014-Morning-In-Sharon-Springs.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-4014-Morning-In-Sharon-Springs.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-4014-Morning-In-Sharon-Springs.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist-1024x736.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-4014-Morning-In-Sharon-Springs.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-4014-Morning-In-Sharon-Springs.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist-810x583.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Nadine-Charlsen-Trains-4014-Morning-In-Sharon-Springs.-Nadine-Charlsen-artist-1140x820.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">4014 Morning in Sharon Springs.
