Sold.  16 by 20 inches,  Acrylic on acid free illustration board

This painting depicts a marquee in a Mississippi River town.  On my first visit to the restaurant many years ago I ordered the catfish plate.  The waitress asked if I preferred river catfish or farm raised.  I then knew that they were serious about the fish they served.  The business no longer exists, and the marquee has long since been removed. 

I painted this piece several years ago but couldn’t say that I was totally happy with it.  So, I decided to “go in” and repaint parts of the painting.  I can now say that I’m completely satisfied with the painting.

Neon Ghost

Sold          16 by 20 inches,         Acrylic on acid free illustration board.
Last summer I exhibited artwork at an art fair in a small town in central Illinois.   I saw this old neon sign in an empty parking lot.  I took a number of reference photos and used those to do the painting.
