Home on Utah Trail

[Artyczar]

I did this in watercolor and gouache (with some pen outline) on an older Thomas Bro. guide page. It's a little trade with another artist who gave me a really cool painting of a bunny on a piece of cement foundation found in the desert someplace. This trailer is her favorite color and it's on the map where she lives on Utah Trail in Twentynine Palms. I just hope she likes it.

Well, if she doesn't like it, I guess I'll take it.

It's terrific!! I really love the transparency that allows the map to be seen so clearly through the paint. I'm just a sucker for this kind of thing. It's so cool that she lives along this very map - of course, she's gonna love it! Fun stuff.

I'll take it! She will be over the moon with this.

 

[CaliAnn]

Awesome! I'm jealous! How come I don't have friends that gift me with something this awesome?

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you Terri. I have done a few commission like this for people that live on the maps.
Thanks Kay. I sure hope so.
CaliAnn, I should take a pic of what I got from her for the trade. I think I got the better deal!

Also, she just got a review in an LA mag of a group show she was in recently. The second picture is one of the rabbits she paints on the cement chunks: https://artillerymag.com/gallery-rounds-loft/

Very, very cool!

interesting and people love things that are close to home .. like the rabbit as well.

This is very cool! Love how you've painted onto the map, it provides a great backdrop. I also like how you've used the blue that really ties in with the blue on the map. I'm sure she'll love it!

Just stumbled upon this and really love the creativity and execution.

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you so much Wayne, Kay, and Joy. I really appreciate your feedback and comments on this.

I like this! Especially the warm colors of the trailer against the cools of the map! I can't imagine living in a trailer in the summertime without an AC unit twice the size of the trailer!

Funny me - when you mentioned a picture of a rabbit on a piece of concrete, I thought of a painting of a rabbit sitting atop a chunk of 'crete.

Thank you Rich. I agree about the air conditioner. I know I can't live without it and I'm in a house.

Thank you too flowercat and sno. I appreciate all your comments!

So creative! Both of the pieces! I like that each of you are repurposing materials as your canvas!
