Motel Dunescape
Painting
"Starving Artist"-style landscape painting of a lake or ocean as seen from a path between two banks of plumed dune grass. Two seagulls soar over breaking waves. Including frame the item is 13x15 inches.
The painting is surrounded by a beige, linen-texture inset mat and a grooved, pickled-wood frame.
The back of the canvas has two messages left by area visitors in 2005 and 2008. A coat of white paint obscures older cartoons including a punk Snoopy and another message.
