Plant City, Florida (2013)
Oil painting
I try to mix portraiture with nostalgic pictures of old downtowns. Downtowns are becoming a thing of the past and most cities have a hard time figuring out what to do with them. This image features Plant City, Florida, which has become an antique center. It has an old restaurant and I added a Coke theme, with the bottle and on the brick wall. I find a certain mystique in old restaurants.
