In Lyndhurst, the old train station was open for view. Saved by Max and Sylvia Reinhardt, they made the station their home and have created and carved out a comfortable living room with sofas with paintings adorning each inch of wallspace (article image below). The original waiting room for train passengers has been turned into a bedroom and Sylvia’s actual studio is outside in a separate area.
"I started painting on my own at age 30," she said. "I was lucky to have found some great teachers.”
