Have You Slept in a Wigwam Lately?

I just finished one of the most challenging paintings I have ever undertaken. All of the lines of perspective and information necessary to make the painting what it is took a huge amount of effort but I really had fun doing it and am pleased with the way it turned out.

The painting depicts some road weary motorcyclists checking into the iconic Wigwam Motel on historic Rt. 66 in Holbrook, Arizona. It is the second in the series, "Fuel for the Dream". It is a 24 x 36 inch oil painting on stretched canvas and is priced at $2400.

A series of signed and numbered limited edition prints are available. The edition is limited to one hundred prints. They measure 15x20 inches and are $145. The number one print of the edition is being donated to the Black Canyon Car Club to be auction for their charity at their annual car show this weekend.

Simpson Gallery, Studio and Frame Shop hours

Because of the economic slow down I have been essentially running the shop by myself for the last two years with a little part time help as needed from time to time. Keeping regular hours of operation six days a week is getting harder to do.  As the need has arisen to go do errands, I have closed for an hour or two or have been open under limited hours while I've been gone for a day or two. Consequently, our hours and days of operation will be as follows: Simpson Gallery, Studio and Frame Shop is USUALLY open Weekdays and Saturdays, HOWEVER hours may be somewhat irregular so please phone ahead as needed. 249-1098.
