THE SANDS

There was a sense of style in the 50's that played off of the space race and sputnik and things like that. (if you don't know what Sputnik was, that just means you're not old). Personally I liked it and still do. A lot of flair! Cars had wings and angles. And chrome was king! Signs too, had lots of flair. This is a classic.

MOON OVER GIN RIDGE

11.5 x 30" acrylic on linen SOLD

This has been sitting a while. I took it so far and then backed off for a while. I finally fiddled with it again and called it finished. It's from a photo by a friend of mine, Jim Furnish, of the beach dunes in front of our little town Gearhart Oregon. The moon rising as the sun sets is a unique lighting situation.

PACIFIC WAY BAKERY

This place is a landmark in Gearhart Oregon. A cafe/bakery run by a couple of friends of ours. Fantastic food and dripping with atmosphere. Actually there is a great hand painted sign on this window but I decided not to try to get all that in the painting. The sign was painted by another old friend of ours Mike Russo. He is an old  sign painter and taught me a lot of tricks. Mike is the son of two very well known artists  SALLY HALEY and MICHAEL RUSSO. Both legends in their own time.

ELLSWORTH KELLY MOMENT

This is the last one from the Portland art musem. There was a good Ellsworth Kelly exhibit. Probably around 50 pieces. They are all Lithographs and super colorful. I wish they had been a little larger for my purposes though. This was one of the biggest in the show. I thought the model was especially nice!
