Labor Day in Rust Town (2009)

I'm painting a continuing acrylic series I call "Rust Town." Each work shows a different and exaggerated facet, wryly drawn with a wink and a dry smile, of the culture of small-town rural America. Granny floats on a home-made raft (a black garbage bag) as crows pluck the cigarette-butt littered sands of Rust Town.
