Boats

This little piece is about the size of large postcard. And somehow I feel drawn into the past, into a time where flying cars for everyone were believed to be not so very far away. And Monorails were expected to be all the rage really soon. And the moon was going to be colonized next week. Oil? Oil was nothing less than the content of that - preferrably plastic - holy grail called progress. That time when - as a friend once said - Walt's creation was still a mouse and not a rat. And people chose orange as a modern theme for their interior. Was it 1956? 1964? Was it ... a better time? I would like to say yes and you all know that I'd be wrong. But why not ... dream a little dream sometimes? (Note: This painting is still hanging in my studio but already gone.)

hard to comment on when you put it so succinctly yourself. it did indeed "feel" like a better time but i suspect that's rose coloured glasses clouding my memory.

Artist Reply: Thank you for this comment. If I remember it right, this has been the very first piece I ever sold. So, there seems to be something to it...

Cool! I would have seen them even without the title.

Artist Reply: THNX so much. This one - at the moment and given how I normally work - is the odd one out but I guess it will get a companion or two over time.
