I have always loved old signs. My designer brain flips out when I see vintage neon signs. So, I am working on a collection of work that embodies those amazing, old neon signs. What intrigues me most about this body of work is the juxtaposition of the sign and the cloudscape behind them. In this painting, I love how different the clouds are; from wispy high-altitude clouds, to the puffy cumulus clouds on the horizon. The dramatic sky perfectly frames this iconic vintage sign. Working on this body of work is refreshing, and a great way for me to keep painting when I am waiting for commissions to dry. These paintings allow me to fully embrace my painterly realistic style. I always want my painting to look realistic, but never want it to look like a photo. Because of this, I try and capture great detail with the brushstrokes still visible. I want these paintings to look different from 16 feet and 4 feet away. At 16 feet from the painting, you see crisp details. Move up to 4 feet or closer and those crisp details melt into beautiful brushstrokes. This is my very favorite way to paint.
