This is the beginning of a series of paintings I intend to do for my new website, which is not up yet but will be as soon as I get some more paintings done.  The website is www.Route66Artist.com.

I wanted this picture to have a retro look about it, almost like a picture drawn in a comic book.  I may try to carry this style throughout the rest of my paintings in this series.

FYI, this is a building that is here in my hometown of Shamrock, Texas.  It is located on the crossroads of Route 66 and highway 83.  The building has been restored, and it has neon lights, and is beautiful at night.  It’s very unusual architecture has made it one of the most photographed buildings on Route 66.  It was featured in Disney’s Pixar Movie, “Cars”, as Ramone’s body shop.

Wish me Luck,
