/ February 15, 2013I love it! I’ve done many road trips, multiple across the country and this evokes such a great retro, yet eerie feel of a lonely drive down route 66! As a painter also, so I appreciate what you are trying to evoke here!
theartstudiobymarkmoore
/ February 15, 2013Thank you movingto , I really enjoy doing pieces that reflect the past of were humanity has been, route 66 is a reminder of the past
soulfoodwords
/ March 6, 2013My first thought was Route 66 also. It has become a forgotten icon and may not be around much longer.

/ February 24, 2013“High Test Leaded”
happycreators
/ February 27, 2013‘Red Horse’. I like this picture because it is haunting and evocative of the mystery I feel when I imagine a road trip through America. I suggest red horse due to the prevalent red imagery and the fact that the horse ties into both the image at the gas station and the idea of horse power taking you on a journey.
theartstudiobymarkmoore
/ February 27, 2013Thank You Happycreators , I enjoyed your take on this piece
Ana Matos
/ February 27, 2013It reminds me of the movie ‘Bagdad Cafe’. Have you seen it?

Ana Matos
/ February 28, 2013Sorry, only later did I realize you had already chosen a title and had even sold the piece! Maybe the movie can inspire something else. The soundtrack is wonderful.

/ March 15, 2013hi Mark
thanks for liking my recent post, being an ex painter i was very curious about your work. you have a very fluid style, i like it very much and had a similar style when i painted. i especially enjoyed this painting, it pryed a few memories….. my dad owned a Texaco station on Long Island in the ’60′s, i always loved that iconic red star. in fact i have a great fondness for many of the gas company logos and signage from that wonderful era, especially the flying red horse of MobilGas.
thanks for the memories, i followed you so i’ll keep checking back.

/ March 19, 2013Thanks for the visit and the ‘like’ on my journal. I’m thinking about the Vette and a different time, when a firestone service station meant full service, and if you pulled up in a Vette, maybe while heading to Vegas, your life has become pretty real without all the glitz.

/ March 29, 2013I think I stopped for gas there one time. They had an alligator in the back you could see for fifty cents. It was a dollar to take the gator’s picture.I passed on that and I secretly took the attendant’s picture instead. He looked more intimidating. I later had the photo published. I couldn’t believe it when I got a check from the FBI for ten thousand dollars.The attendant was a known serial killer on their Ten Most Wanted List. What luck. He could have thrown me to the gator.
