| "End of the Road" OR "Old Volks Home" |
I have passed this junk yard many times over the years and have wanted to paint it for a long time. The PAC Regional Exhibit 2012 theme is "YOU ARE HERE" and I finally had a good reason to go for it. This painting is big - 36" x 48" - and it's the only oil painting I've done this year. It didn't win a prize, but I've gotten lots of positive comments on it. Apparently everyone has a Volkswagon story and my painting evoked lots of fond memories. Dwayne, at the Art Center, said it should have been titled "old Volks Home." I like that. Every one of these abandonded cars would have some interesting stories to tell if only they could talk. And that dog in the pop-up van. Was this the end of his road too?
