Watercolor 16" x 20" This was painted to accompany my article and appeared as the cover to the Summer 1998 issue of Route 66 Magazine. I always felt that these old ruins were "haunted" by the fading ghosts of the tourists and travelers who frequented them in their glory days.

"HERE IT IS, KIDS!"
View larger image

OIL on canvas 26" x 36" Here's the happy (?) vacation family turning into the famed Jackrabbit Trading Post, which is still going strong west of Joseph City, Az. This painting has special meaning to me, as I dropped a cap pistol out the window near the Painted Desert, and Dad wouldn't stop to pick it up! Little else of the vacationers matches my family, except for the crying little brother! Once a popular postcard in my (out of print) postcard series, and exhibited in many venues.

Price: (US only) $15,000 plus shipping/crating fee (prints on 13x19" paper are available at $50 each plus shipping).
