Monday Morning Art: The New Holy Land

This week our art is an acrylic painting, inspired by a series of photos I took last month when we made a visit to the Cinncinnati/Dayton area.

For reasons I can’t quite recall, I haven’t gotten around to even telling you folks about one of the main reasons for our trip. We went to visit the new Buc-ee’s at Huber Heights in Dayton. It is a wonderful place, just like the other Buc-ee’s we’ve been to in Kentucky and Georgia. And this new location is about the same distance from Charleston as the one in Richmond, Kentucky.

While wonderful, it’s not really vastly different from the other Buc-ee’s we’ve visited. It’s a blast, and it was the first stop on our trip that also took us to The Toy Department and Jungle Jim’s, but I didn’t really see the need to do a photo essay on Buc-ee’s again, since I’ve done so many in recent years.

However, the photos I snapped while we were looping around the exit that takes you right to this new place amused me enough to do a painting based on them. And that’s it above, in acrylics on a small cheap canvas. It’s more of a color rough, but with extra detail.
