About The Artwork
William Faulkner famously noted that “the past isn't dead -- it's not even past.” By means of historically-themed diners, drive-ins, motels, old-filling stations, small-town museums and more, evidence of this observation marks the American landscape in ways that range from the shamefully crass to the famously glorious. Artist Alan Wellikoff’s lifelong interest in such modern tributes to the glories and tragedies of American history is reflected by his painting, “Great State.” In this work, a towering roadside cowboy greets passing motorists in a way reflective of the opulence, color, commercialism, friendliness, pride, regionalism, and kinship with history that's endemic to the American character. Alan's 16 x 20" artwork was painted onto a gessoed canvas using professional-grade oils and, once dry, covered with a Gamvar gloss varnish. The TV series History on the Road will bring Faulkner’s canny take to life. Those interested in seeing how are welcome to visit the series' website at HistoryontheRoad.com. Having already garnered affiliate support for its country-wide distribution over the PBS network, History on the Road now seeks funding from corporations, foundations and individuals to shoot its first season. Such parties will be able to advertise to the PBS' active, affluent -- and vast -- national viewership.

A fellow who inadvertantly sprang his girlfriend from solitary in a Maine county jail; ran solo into a burning New York barn only to discover the livestock had found their own way out; raced cars ingloriously at Moroso and Lime Rock; awoke in a remote Burmese pagoda just as dawn struck the face of a road-movie Buddha who'd also been sitting there in the dark; owned the '27 Buick Phaeton in which Sir Lawrence traversed Arabian sands, and stole through the night to stand alone on Little Round Top, in Emerson's garden, aboard the USS Constellation and -- most unforgettably -- in the theater box in which Lincoln was shot. As an fledgling artist, Wellikoff was once awarded for excellence by a juried panel at the Maryland State Fair and twice given silver status by Redditt. His first painting was a portrait of his father-in-law, a WWII Navy pilot, standing before his carrier-borne Avenger bomber. Today, Wellikoff tends to paint whatever draws his fancy for its aesthetic, cultural and historic significance and sense of whimsy or irony. Wellikoff's work has been sold through horse-country galleries in Maryland and Virginia.
