Abandoned-Morrow County Oregon is a surreal painting of an abandoned house on the plain. In 2009 my good friend Todd Martinson shot the photo from which the painting was made. From the photo there appear to be pock marks on the wood (though not emphasized in the painting). Todd did not know what those might be; if the building was shot at by cowboys in Eastern Oregon it is wonderful the building has not been destroyed. The pock marks could also be from quail hunters prevalent in that area.
The house is in the middle of nowhere with only dead grass around the edges. One wonders who lived there. Why did they leave? Were they farmers or ranchers who could not make a go of it? Was their name Joad? Todd believes the structure could be as old as the 1930s as not much left inside though the roof looks to be in fair, if stained, condition. One hopes it did not house a family driven out by their race. I am very satisfied with the painting and it looks great on a wall. I also offer giclée prints on stretched canvas which look virtually like the original painting. Acrylic being largely two dimensional the giclée prints work wonderfully.
