Description

FLASH FLOOD NEVADA - The Story

This beautiful awe inspiring picture was drawn from a photograph I took in the Nevada Desert in the year 2000. It was 120°C, I was driving in a top down Corvette and as I was approaching the brow of a hill, out of nowhere the heavens opened. The flash flood was over as quickly as it started. Whilst I struggled with the roof I took in the view and snapped what I saw before me.

The panorama was an allegory of the “American lost dream.”
The sign on the bolder strewn road will exist longer than the road itself, still doing its job on a broken dirt track to nowhere.

My beautiful Corvette had died on me, I hadn’t seen a car for hours, no signal, no water in 120°C. The sign, unknowingly only 30 miles from the main freeway to Las Vegas.

Of course, I made it to the “City of Sin” and the sign carries on with its job.

CUSTOMER INFORMATION

All my artwork works are digital creations. There are separate layers of drawings laid on top of each other using the same methodology as David Hockney’s digital drawings “Fresh pictures of a very beautiful world”.
The portraits are drawn almost like a police photo fit. There is also layering of colour and all pieces are manipulated digitally 100’s to 1000’s of times. This allows for a complexity and texture in my electronic works.
To create even more depth and texture each work of art is printed onto finest art photographic paper, using the Giclée Hahnemühle print methodology.

Every print is numbered and priced accordingly, with a border to assist framing.

The picture will be shipped in break resistant packaging within 14 days of payment.
