As mentioned before, that texture of brick and cinderblock does nothing for a painting, but is that the Nashville skyline with reflection in the Cumberland River? Nice touch. The ice machine should move around the corner. I think I’ll add a category called “Landscape/Cityscape” in the hopes others arise. (photo by J. Eichman)

Here is a full figure, sly and slightly elfin in stature. Her proximity to the sidewalk hints at trompe l’oeil. Some interesting invention happening where her hands, plate and cakes meet. Auch, cinderblocks; I’m making a new category for those as well.

Well, there are those asterisks again. Why is that a go-to embellishment all over the country? Where do we learn that?

Popcorn, being brought to our attention by a pickle. I enjoy how the original image has been preserved by whomever was rolling on a fresh coat of white paint. This is begging for some popcorn to be spilt to complete the trompe l’oeil.

Oh right, there are others from this Ozona concession stand. Is that a cloud of coldness?

The cinderblocks drive me nuts sometimes. The lettuce is commendable though, lettuce is often crazily represented in food signs (example). The tangent where the hanging sausage gently meets the ham makes me nervous.

In the context of the cinderblock concession stand, the text might not be necessary, though an act of generosity nonetheless. The chips read visually as eggs, three-dimensional somehow, even though there is no modeling, maybe because they stand upright instead of stacked. The actual drop of the white wall paint over the nachos means this painting has been preserved. Just making an observation.
