This painting is part of a series based on song lyrics. I’m trying to stick to lyrics about California, and so far I’ve got an abundance of ideas. Time, time, time – that’s not so plentiful.
Anyhoo, how could I resist “Hotel California” as an option? I couldn’t! And I didn’t feel the painting needed to be complicated. So it’s fairly simple, with roadside palms against a night sky. Folks in Northern California may not relate, but those of us in SoCal are quite familiar with palm trees. To me, they say Cali. And if I were driving on a dark, desert highway toward Hotel California, I suspect there would be roadside palms, silhouetted against the night sky.
California. Lord knows I’ve not been able to leave…
