Introducing the series Road Trip 2007
My cousin and I have traveled life together since we were children. We spent summers on her parents ranch where we ran barefoot in the sun, shared all our secrets and giggled under the covers at night until our mothers told us to hush up and go to sleep. They were still telling us the same thing to our teenage years. And so it continues. She has just returned from a trip to the East Coast, cross country from ocean to ocean and I have "traveled" with her via e-mail and photos. I would like to share her trip with you as she shared it with me. I hope you will enjoy my paintings of the Road Trip With GG as much as I have. Yes, we still share our secrets and giggle into the night. Some things will never change.
GG's Road Trip 2007
Driving across the country there are many touches of the whimsical in the small towns and farms along the road, such as the red white and blue 1940s pick up proudly parked in the middle of a field in Texas, farm equipment as sentinels on the top of a hill in Kansas, an old scarecrow with a top hat but nothing to guard in Missouri. This is one of my favorites. In a field by the entrance to a farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains sits this old red John Deere with a load of red geraniums. A touch of whimsey, a statement, a tip of the hat to a well used item, whatever, it makes us smile in acknowledgment as we pass.
6"x6" on gesso board unframed. $97.00 postage prepaid.
