This painting depicts a 1960s-era snack shack on a Southern California beach. I was particularly drawn to the bold, oversized “FOOD” typography and the building’s solitary presence within the coastal landscape. Working from a black-and-white photograph, I researched and selected a color palette evocative of the 1960s, aiming to infuse the scene with a sense of time and place.
