Description

A little bit about this one- For awhile now I have been wanting to paint a stop sign showing the transition from the yellow and black to the current red and white. It was changed in 1954 to be consistant with the traffic lights. I included the Edsel on the left because I just think they are goofie looking and from the right era. The two vehicles working back are from Jim's parents farm and have made many appearances in prior paintings, especially the Bel Air on the right. The dog is from an old black and white photo that I found some time ago. I have done two prior paintings of this dog, one of which sold. The paintings were called, Wet Laundry and so the name of the dog has become that, wet laundry. Going further in the distance there is a blue Gremlin which was painted from a toy model, given to me by an fellow artist friend of mine. Also there is a red Cadillac convertible sticking out before continuing down the path. I would really like to take a walk through this old junkyard to get a closer look at these old cars and of course to play with the dog. ;)
