The "Retro Still-life" series continues with my latest painting titled after an early 1970's song. For many Boomers this was a welcome site at the beginning of each day.

Truetone was a brand of electronics sold by Western Auto. Growing up my parents owned and operated a small hardware store in our hometown selling some Western Auto products. This is my latest painting in the "Reto Series."

Song on the Radio

I purchased this transistor radio a few months ago at a local flea market. I had purchased the Yellow Submarine to keep in the package as a collectible. However, my three-year-old grandson insisted on removing the toy from the package so he could play with it.  Since I already had a Ringo toy, I put the toys and radio together to produce this painting.  

Portable AM Radio

Another painting in the "Retro" series. This portable AM radio was powered by a small 9-volt battery. For many teenagers, myself included, it was one of the few forms of entertainment during the 1960s.

Another retro painting featuring an old transistor radio. I thought a bright colorful background would work well with the grayish-brown transistor.

Transistor

Growing up in the 1960s the transistor radio was a godsend for a teenager who enjoyed music. The radios usually came with an ear plug so you had the option of listening to the AM radio in private.
