Americana

Last Sunday I was in Laguna Beach for brunch with friends and near the brunch stop were a few galleries, (as anyone who has been to Laguna knows they have a few.)  This large painting of match books caught my eye.  I didn't have time to stop and really look at all the work, but from a quick glance I really liked what I saw.  Really I liked the use of scale, color and detail.  These paintings are all watercolor.  I don't know how he painted the text so clear....they look like graphic prints to me not watercolor paintings.  As well I like his americana theme.  Makes me happy to think America used to be this simple.  Check the artist out, Robert Townsend : http://www.gcgallery.com/index.php

Love the title "Blue Impala with sprinkles"
