This is a closer look at the area adjacent to the Texaco gas station. The mural is still visible around the corner. It looks like the gas guzzling car has pulled up the the garage door awaiting entry. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale inspired by my autistic brother Mike at: […]
I focused on the signs and part of the mural in this variation on the pen and ink theme for the current edition of this meditation series.

I concentrated on the mural in this iteration of the series. I took liberties with colors (since the source photo is in black and white) and the design, since it was a bit small in the original.

I guessed at the colors for the mural and used a second photo to fill out the architecture surrounding the urban gas station.

There is a connection between the two realms […]
After a conversation with my brother Dave, I was inspired to take my variations on a theme to the next level. First, I replaced the face on the mural and made the eye direct the viewers’ attention. The arrow from the parking sign is an obvious directional symbol, acting in concert with the eye. There […]
