Smashed Jack (Drive Thru)

[Bongo]

I've done the front of this Jack in the Box, now I wanted to do the drive-thru with all the security poles in the parking lots.

It may not look like it, but it was so bitter cold I bailed. The next day the weather had warmed and I went out to try it again -- but now

There was a ratty old van, dashboard topped with garbage and no license plates blocking the scene. No guts, no glory - so I sucked it up and approached the driver. I explained what I was trying to do, and to my relief, he agreed to move.

I'm using an old painting that I covered with spray paint for the support.

making progress.

I like the depth of field in this.

Well done and glad the van was moved. It would have ruined the scene-- wrong spot.

Fun and great painting. I like seeing your area and places you paint. Thanks for taking me along!

I really like the design of this one, so many verticals to counteract the flat planes of the land. I never even noticed street lights before! They seem to be watching over the driver as he decides what to order.

Wayne, Sno,Jo, Donna - thank you!

Lowes, Jack in the Box, and Krispie Cream share this parking area - which's set off nicely with dividers of plants and trees. It's located in a good neighborhood but recently had a spat of shoplifting, and car break-ins. So they installed these overhead cameras and lights, have big speakers blasting "Lock your car, check your surroundings, hide your valuables, report suspicious people to manager" . They also have an R2D2 -like robot that patrols the lot with a direct line to the police station.

First off, great job on the painting. But wow on the lights cameras and speakers. A local not so nice shopping area has recently installed this tall solar powered camera set up with a flashing blue light but thankfully no speakers.

Thanks John, does your shopping center have one of these? Freaky to see them roaming around the parking lot.

Beautifully painted challenging view! Very painterly and interesting painting!

I've not had the pleasure of seeing an R2D2 Security Bot! Hope they're helpful.

This is another fun painting of a local scene - you're so good at this! Glad the truck driver moved for you, that was nice. I like the depth of field here, and the sign is just a hoot! Nice work!

Mo, Terri thank you.

Terri - Smashed Jack is a real thing, - I'm not smart enough to make that up.

That robot thing is frightening.
