Banyan Tree Motel Painting

The work is inspired by the Banyan Tree Motel signage that exists in Saint Petersburg, Florida. It's a leftover mid-century modern motel complete with banyan tree illustration and splashes of aqua. The paint is all faded now but a lot of the neon is still intact. If ever there was a time to pull over for a glimpse of roadside America from its heyday, this motel is it. I personally gather references on location of my signage paintings. I carefully plan each one, as if they are a portrait of them, so I get them before they are gone. I love to paint them in watercolor, my medium of choice is a semi large format, trying to capture the faded peeling paint, rust and decay to give them an honest state of condition. Exhibition: Juried into the Texas Watercolor Society 74th Annual Exhibition in 2023.
