Description "FIFTIES FUTURE"
Oil Painting - 48" x 48" - #5 in a Series of 7

The idea of having pollution-free driving high above the landscape in hydrogen powered hover-cars is a reality in "Fifties Future" It's an idealized glimpse into what the people in the 1950's may have envisioned.


"TODAY'S REALITY IS THE STUFF OF YESTERDAY'S DREAMS"

Some Insightful Information to think about:

There's more computing power in your average cell phone today - than there was on any of the Apollo Spacecraft that took the astronauts to the Moon.

Skyscrapers are supreme feats of engineering and design, and in many ways you can mark the passing of time through their technical innovation.

the rest in this series of Oil paintings are here:
#1 MUSCLE 4 SALE
#2 SALAD BAR
#3 TOYING AROUND
#4 EVERYBODIES BEAUTIFUL
#5 FIFTIES FUTURE
#6 When SuperModels Ruled the World - skipped 4 now, because I wanted to do #7
#7 IT'S A DOG'S WORLD

I always thought the 50's future would be cool, but some of those women look like they're putting it on a little too much and dyin' hard on the inside. You caught it well I think

There's something about this kind of thing that I'll always love floating antigravity cars looking like Buicks and girls in spacesuits with bubble helmets, when I was a kid in the 60's I believed there would be a city on the moon. This is so beautiful in every way, Norman Rockwell and The Jetsons...I love it!

All your stuff is really unique and amzing! I am a local musician and I have a very electronic meets classic rock sound I this would be such an awesome album cover. I was wondering If would allow me to use this on my next CD? Let me know and keep up the good work!
