Been There Painting

This painting depicts the Boulevard Motel signage in Deland Florida. You might call me a sign chaser—one who tracks down mid-century modern neon and lighted signage. In reality, I've been doing urban landscape depicting architecture of various scenes for quite a long time and somehow, there have been neon signs among many of them. I started concentrating in these relics, like making portraits of old retired folk. They lend themslelves to my work, usually a composition divided up, balanced harmonious with graphic shapes, textures, and colors. What I also put into these is the temporary situation they are in. Many are abandoned and left to decay or become demolished. They were originally designed to be magnificent eye catchers for road weary travelers, or to stand out among many other businesses. A few are still appreciated by their owners and restored. But proof is positive, there is beauty in decay. Exhibition: 2022 Michigan Water Color Society 75th Annual Exhibition
