Hi Everyone, 

 I just want to say Thank you to all of you that saw my previous post on this forum and visited me at the York meet to tell me!!! It was a great show. I was busy finishing up some paintings to bring to the show. One was even wet but it made it! I finally got two booths so I was able to stretch out and many people told me the art showed up much better in the bigger space. I had two very large new paintings so I really needed the space.

 

I was set up at York next to Clark Dunham. Clark and I have been working on a very special project for about 6 months now. He has created the Angela Trotta Thomas layout. I never thought I would have a layout named after me but Clarke designed it and it is beautiful. I painted the background and designed all of the buildings and he took it from there. I am attaching some pictures of the layout and our booths. 

I am in the process of having my website revamped and will be adding a shopping cart to make it easier to order prints. It should be up and running in a few weeks.

 

I hope everyone is starting to get into the Christmas spirit. It is my favorite time of the year!!

Thanks so much!! I really do try to paint the emotional attachments we have for these very special toy trains! My main focus is to make you feel good when you view the paintings. I like bringing back all these special memories. There have been moments when grown men have cried in my booth when a painting takes them back to a special memory. I am very moved when this happens.

Angela, you will always be my favorite "train gal".  Ever since the first time you set up and showed your talents in the Purple Hall at York, I have been your "groupie". 

 

I loved doing the article on you in O Gauge Railroading and I am now thrilled that you are taking some steps into our Forum! I look forward to seeing you every time at the York and anywhere else I find you. 

 

Some time, Karen and I will have to go down to your humble abode again in Charlestown.  You and your husband were wonderful hosts!  Karen talks of returning to see you all the time! 

Come to this Lionel Open House Event and meet with Lionel Licensed Artist and LCCA Member Angela Trotta Thomas.  Angela and her husband Bob will be there on Friday and Saturday Only.   LCCA members will be able to purchase a raffle ticket for an opportunity to win an original "LCCA 45 Years of Fun" Angela Trotta Thomas painting.  Drawing to be held July 25,  2015 at LCCA's 45th Annual Convention in Danvers MA(near Boston)
