Roadside Art Online: Vistas

The cards on this page go beyond the usual road-and-lawn approach to really set the motor court in its landscape. The Motel Marylander also includes a refreshing dose of realism, with not a retouch in sight, while the La Fonda locates an artist's conception in a finely abstracted landscape. The Richmond Auto Court applies a classic paint-over-photo technique, with the Shorecrest representing a middle ground, and Smith Crossroads, one suspects, a budgetary one.
