Persistence

from $35.00

In McLean, Texas—a town with its share of abandoned buildings—I found this scene at an old gas station. It’s a perfect portrait of the push and pull between decay and life. The door is boarded up, the paint is peeling, and an old tire rests where a customer might have stood.

And yet, life is persistent. A vibrant green fern, undeterred, pushes its way up from the threshold, a defiant touch of life against the decay. This photograph isn't just about what's been forgotten; it's about what endures.

A signature piece from the "Ghosts of the Road" chapter of the "Route 66: The Mother Road" collection, this print is a quiet, poignant story of resilience.

Print & Medium

This photograph is all about its rich, tactile qualities: the gritty, rough texture of the tire, the flaky, peeling paint on the bricks, and the smooth, weathered grain of the wooden door. A glossy or even a luster paper would add a sheen that betrays this gritty, natural texture.

Therefore, my premium paper choice is the Breathing Color Elegance Velvet Watercolor. This is a museum-grade paper with a subtle, textured velvet finish. It is renowned for its ability to render deep, rich tones and a tangible, fine-art quality, which will make the different textures in this image feel incredibly real and present.

"Persistence" is available in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
