"For What It's Worth" (30 x 40, oil on panel) started out as a painting of just my old fatigue shirt. Then came my medals and an old peace sign patch that I wore on my jeans (a long time ago) and the painting changed course and became a statement on current events. I used my VFW cap and one of my old black and white GI photos to balance the composition.
New York artist Robert Mars posted a GREAT review of my artwork on his blog, January 14, 2009. You can view it here.
For me, old neon signs and motor inns are the epitome of Americana. I prefer to depict them in daylight and close up to reveal the weathering, the age and the true beauty.
