The classic neon Bar Sign, captured in this spectacular painting by Lisa Tennant, is titled Lost Parking Opportunity. Standing tall with its worn and weathered finish, this artwork depicts a memorable part of Roadside Americana. These neon giants lit up the highways and roads for weary travels around the country.
Sharp angles and severe perspective define this painting of George’s Tavern, a roadside respite for the thirsty patron. Although the painting seems photographic, a closer look reveals watercolors that bleed together with many layers of paint to build up the color surface. Thus giving the appearance of a realistic sign with a storied past.
The neon Bar Sign painting is an original watercolor on paper. The artist signature can be found in the lower left corner. Framed in a simple black frame, the artwork has a wide mat border in white and is archival mounted behind plexiglass. It is wired and ready to hang.
