An
original three-dimensional
oil painting/sculpture
by Gary 0. Russeth
completed
March 3, 2001
dedicated to Norma L. Russeth
Laurel and Hardy, driving
a 1921 Model "T" Ford Roadster,
are stopping for petrol at a Red Crown
gasoline station in Riverside, California in 1929.
The builder is working
in scales from the full-sized oak leaf to the
one-third scale of the Model "T"
with Laurel and Hardy. T
The 1" x 10" tires for example represent a
real Model "T' tire which would be 30"
From the ants on the tree
to the cotton clouds in the sky,
all give the illusion of depth in a mere eight-inch
confined space.
The sculpture includes a 4' x 6' frame and is
illuminated
by 9-12V high-intensity floodlights, which help to eliminate shadows.
The
builder's subjects are a life-long love.
