ahartlitehouse.jpg (61588 bytes) I really don't know if its oil or water color. What is remarkable is that In each of these scenes, left and right, an HO scale artist is painting the very scene he is in.  And accurately! ahartwaterft.jpg (60025 bytes)

Detailed like the real thing
including dog and his house...
I had a tree house like this but
not in HO Scale.

Its a New England beach.
So there are steps down the 
rocky face to the "watah." 
A little farther down the beach bathers and fisherman alike enjoy the day.  Note the small children with buckets and pails. Not often do you see this kind of detail in HO Scale!
