Holiday Motel One

A close, abstracted watercolor study of the glowing neon from the Holiday Motel, located in Cave City, Kentucky near Mammoth Cave National Park. Cropped tightly to focus on looping tubes and metal brackets, the composition transforms familiar roadside signage into flowing lines and cool blue washes—celebrating the craftsmanship and nostalgic charm of classic American travel.

Original painting- 5.5" x 12.5" Arches Cold Press watercolor paper. Mixed media- watercolor, gouache, and pen.

Reproduction- 4.5" x 10" Premium Hot Press paper. Limited run of 100.
