EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this painting by Malcolm Greensmith, titled "Railway Sleeper - Melton Mowbray Station." This beautiful artwork transports us to a bygone era, where tradition and history intertwine on the platform of Melton Mowbray Station. At the heart of the scene, a weary huntsman takes a well-deserved rest on a railway sleeper. His foxhound, ever loyal, curls up beside him, its eyes closed in contentment. The huntsman's outfit is complete with a red jacket, helmet, and hat adorned with gold, along with his riding boots, whip, and crop. His uniform is a testament to the rich history and heritage of fox hunting in the region. As the huntsman catches a few winks, the clock on the station wall ticks away the hours. A sign above the platform reads "Melton Mowbray," a nod to the famous town known for its pork pies. The sleeper train in the background adds to the transport theme, while advertisements for local businesses and events adorn the walls. Despite the exhaustion etched on his face, the huntsman's expression is peaceful, as if he is at one with the moment. His pocket watch lies open on the sleeper, its hands frozen in time, adding to the stillness of the scene. The red sleeper, with its worn-out texture, provides a stark contrast to the golden hues of the huntsman's attire. This painting is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped the English countryside. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of the past.
