Description/Story: True story. We were heading up north to see family traveling on I-75 in Georgia when suddenly everyone was diverted off of the highway in both directions. Following everyone else, we crossed over and then north again on a road parallel to the highway. About two miles up we passed what looked like a set of signs and an abandoned building, nothing else around. I made note of approximately where we were, vowing to stop and take a look on our way home a week later. It took a bit of driving around but we managed to find the spot on the way back. I took many reference photos marveling at how twisted up that sign was. I sketched out how I wanted it and then two years later painted what became one of my most award-winning paintings to date. It had to be big, it had to be brilliant in color, it had to be honest. I still wonder whatever happened to it that made that metal sign fold in half.
