Depicting the historic Jackson Train Depot in soft, luminous washes, this watercolor transforms a quiet architectural landmark into a meditation on passage and memory. The warm brick façade, shadowed awning, and vintage lamppost are rendered with delicate transparency, allowing light and color to bleed gently at the edges — a signature of McCarter’s early watercolor technique. The station stands not merely as a building, but as a threshold: a place of arrivals and departures, hellos and goodbyes, where countless unseen human stories have unfolded. Through layered glazes and subtle shifts in temperature, the painting evokes the fleeting yet enduring nature of connection, inviting the viewer to linger in the liminal space between past and present, structure and emotion.
