This painting captures a glimpse of a vintage motel sign from the past, like those found along Route 66. Colorful signs with glowing neon letters and rows of flashing light bulbs. These were beacons for weary travelers looking for a place to stop for the night. Those were the days.
Titled “Been There”, this watercolor painting celebrates these roadside signs in every detail. Artist Lisa Tennant, goes to great lengths to capture every element and characteristic, just like a photograph. Faded and weathered paint, rusty metal edges and old style incandescent light bulbs. If you are a fan or collector of vintage signs and advertising, this is the artwork for you.
The painting of the vintage motel sign is an original watercolor on paper. The artist, signature can be found in the lower left corner. Mounted in a bright brass frame, the artwork has a wide mat border in white and is archival mounted behind plexiglass. It is wired and ready to hang.
