ON TRAINS

Bell's Train Paintings explore four symbolic ideas: Purpose, Power, Potential and Spiritual.

"To me, trains best represent collective power coming and going. Trains carry different forms of almost anything, and they’re not much good to us unless they’re moving forward - all different cars working together for one purpose. Faith is an act, and it is sounding its whistle like these trains, saying, "All aboard!"

Each of us travels a unique set of tracks, and sometimes we derail. Sometimes we simply need to hook onto another car that is headed in the right direction to fulfill our purpose." - Michael Bell
