Buried Treasure 2010 - Frisco Water Tower Painting Update

"Her Sleepy Town" - 20 x 20
Mixed media - maps, train schedules, and acrylic paint


This is my entry for the 2010 Buried Treasure post. It was originally posted in August of 2009.  We were asked to repost one of our favorite posts from the last year.  This project is the brain child of Seth Apter over at The Altered Page blog.  Make sure and stop by his blog for tons of favorite posts by some great bloggers!

Going back to work this week has really cramped my blogging style. Here is the new painting as of Friday evening. All it needs is a few small touch ups, some weathering, and a varnish coat. By the way all is right in my world as of today......Texas high school football has officially begun. Go out and support your local teams!

  6. I'm crazy about this piece. It is sensational and the more I look at it, the more I see. I especially liked the train schedules in one of the bulls eyes, and of course, the old style water tower that you recreated so well. Thanks so much for sharing this post.

  7. Your artwork's fantastic. I love your use of maps and paint. I follow another Texan (Debi Cates) and even from all the way over here in NZ some of these images seem familiar to me!

  12. Studded with things I like a lot - maps, schedules, ephemera, basic shapes like circles, primary colors, text, mysteries peeking slyly through layers ... nice job!
