This delightful old sign must have fallen down to get the damage it had, and thankfully was put back up for all to see. Even in its crumbled state it is still a a work of art that beacons the passerby with tasts and smells, fond memories of times past, and warm pleasant moments remembered ! An excellent addition to the Neon Series. / Oil on canvas
I ve been all over but have never found a good Coca Cola Sign, so I made one up! / I did find some advertizing in an old natioal geographics with Sprite and a bottle of Coke. / I just made the rest up. Sprites happy face and smile needed some joyful clouds to go with it. / This is the best old Coca Cola sign youll ever see! If you ever see a Coca cola sign or any unique sign wherever it may be please let me know and maybe take some photos and send me I would much appreiciate it and might just send something nice your way for the effort :)

If you’re not used to looking at cross eyed images just look at the center of image and start to cross your eyes very very slowly till the images start to come together in the middle, then you can look around and see it perfectly, the longer you look the better it gets, its good eye exercise! / It’s not a painting but could’ve been, it’s a bunch of photos, I did it in Photoshop by hand, meaning there is no software that will do it for you, most images like this are done with cameras set up to take pics from two different angles, most are not perfect -this one is! / The longer you look the more depth, the more real it becomes!
Made up of different colorful shapes
This was one of my practice portraits I did back when I discovered I could paint. It’s one of my favorites. If I remember correctly it came out much better than the image I was using. I think the image was old faded and blotched just like the original Hollywood print -I think!
The Painting looks much much better than this Photo! (working on getting high res image) Fresh Meats , was Inspired by a store front in Boston Massachusetts called Delucas. My soul mate ( I thought ) and I are reflected in the glass! It is more than just a pretty picture. It was done during a time when I was happily married when we were going to a bible study and being blessed, the painting is a very fruitful and spiritual piece, I am (the creator) reflected in the glass 3 times along with a van that is parked in front with words on its side (when looked at with a mirror says Praise God), and there is a dark figure hiding in back of the store… Deluca’s has been at the same location for over 100 years. Born in Italy, Uncle Joe DeLuca (1900-1997)started working in the store which would later bear his name, in 1919.The store soon became known as “the place” in Boston for the finest in fresh fruit and produce. During prohibition and during the war it provided the essential needs of Beacon Hill residents as it still does to this day serving the everyday customer to historic notables such as North Pole Explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd, President John F. Kennedy, and historian Samuel Elliot Morison all of whom lived near DeLuca’s. In 1952, Joe’s brother-in-law, Virgilio Aiello, who had a butcher shop in the 1930’s purchased the store and added a full line of fresh meat. His son Virgil Aiello added gourmet bread, cheeses, and a complete beer, wine and liquor cellar. Virgil with his able staff still operates the store today, offering the same dedicated personal service and highest quality food products ranging from Corn Flakes to Caviar. / For original oil Painting please contact me!
It was once stated that “to visit Los Angeles and not see the Chinese is like visiting China and not seeing the Great Wall.” Grauman’s opulent, awe-inspiring presence and history has been a cornerstone of Hollywood for over 75 years.

This was a small insignificant sign on one of those “Fireworks for sell” places between Nashville and Atlanta / This is a oil Painting!
This was just s great fun sign I found out in California. And like most signs it wasent that noticeable. I just created the battling superhero and super villain, it just seemed appropriate. / This is a bad image of it!! / Working on getting a much higher resolution image of this, and will replace!! / This is a 30×36 oil painting!
This delightful old sign must have fallen down to get the damage it had, and thankfully was put back up for all to see. Even in its crumbled state it is still a a work of art that beacons the passerby with tasts and smells, fond memories of times past, and warm pleasant moments remembered ! An excellent addition to the Neon Series. / The original size of 30×36 is available as a pint, as well as smaller sizes.

The Fox Theater in Atlanta Georgia, There used to be a Fox in just about every major city. / This one was fully restored and in 1989 they celebrated the 60 th anniversary of \”Gone With The Wind\” with a black tie event and commissioned special posters of \”the Fox Theater\” commemorating the event! Ted Turner was there along with 7 of the original cast of the movie and many elite, I was there in black tie signing prints, a great event and a great painting! / The original 36×48 oil painting sold for $10,000.00.

This was a sign on a building across the road from Graceland, It was hardly noticeable during the day and seemed small and insignificant, But I thought I could do something special with it and it turned out great. / This is a 36×48 oil on canvas. the original sold 10 years ago for about $10,000
Old signs, works of art that beacons the passerby with colors and lights, tastes and smells, fond memories of times past, and warm pleasant moments remembered! They are disappearing from the landscape, ingrained deep in our memories, almost gone but not forgotten.
