New Painting

Just finished this painting I started last weekend during the open
studio tour. This particular canvas was one of two that was on the
back of my truck as a temporary tonneau cover for a couple of months.
Seemed only fitting to continue the "road" theme.

This painting depicts the automobile, the rural life (rooster), the
deteriorating road, the roadhouses (neon), and the highway itself. Was
fun to paint. Reminds me of the graphic paintings of the 60's. This is
also a summary of my recent Rt. 66 trip.
