It has taken a while to finish the trilogy of small paintings of American road signs that I started a while ago as I have done another larger painting at the same time which I have just finished. This one was meant to alleviate the relative gloom of the other two by being in bright sunlight on a hot afternoon. Whether I have achieved that I am not sure as ever... I suppose this one is a bit nearer to the Americana genre in that I am using a roadside motel sign, but it is a genre I try to avoid as the point of the painting is the mood and design and not really the sign as such. I guess it's another for either my "Roadside America" series or "The Big Sky" series...
Oil on mdf 12" x 12".
There is a short step-by-step progress through this painting in previous posts on this blog.
