Lost Parking Opportunity Painting

Neon Sign of George's Tavern in Sanford Florida. It immediately generated interest in the community as it is a well-known spot and people seem to have a love of these classic signs. Exhibition of this piece: 2021 Louisiana Watercolor Society 51st International Exhibition 2020 LightSpaceTime Gallery 2nd Annual Primary Colors Online Exhibition, 3rd Place Overall, 2nd Place Painting Category 2019 Art Competition at the Cultural Art Center, Temple TX, February 2019 Orlando Museum of Art 1st Thursdays Exhibit "Architecture", June 2018 Sanford Art Walk, June 2018 Inspired by Photorealism and Pop Art I shoot my own images for inspiration and make adjustments and changes to the color, perspective, and details to suite the composition and bring out the best in the subject at hand. Texture is important in these works and is shown through detail of the natural break-down of materials such as rusting metal and peeling paint on buildings and signage. Through this I portray a sort of melancholy of nostalgia, a time before, and quiet celebration of subjects such as Americana and pop culture. This particular piece focuses on American neon signage. These old signs are still in use, yet, many are disappearing from urban landscape. Lately, I've turned my focus to neon, so it is a reoccurring theme in my work. This work is painted on 140 lb Arches Watercolor Rough Surface. I look to use high-quality light-fast watercolor tube paint. To achieve this color with watercolor paints, many layers are painted in flat washes piled on top of each other, while some areas are reserved for the white paper to show through.
