A few years ago I visited five different steel mills in the Western Pennsylvania region. From those visits I've been doing a series of industrial paintings. In a way it is to document an important aspect of this region's history before it is gone. This mill makes couplers for the railroad industry and it is just a few blocks from my studio.

Ron, this is amazing. The composition is so strong. All the difficult-to-capture elements, such as steam and sparks, are done beautifully! And your mission to document this industry is a wonderful idea.
Wow, I also think this is amazing. What a challenge, and you pulled it off so very well! Fascinating subject.
Great idea Ron; documenting the history of the steel mill operations through your paintings. Wonderful!
Love the glow!
What an awesome piece of work, Ron. Love the grit of this one.
As I have mentioned before - the strength and truth of your work is masterful, Ron. This is a fabulous painting.
