"FIFTIES FUTURE"
Oil Painting - 48" x 48" - #5 in a Series of 7

The idea of having pollution-free driving high above the landscape in hydrogen powered hover-cars is a reality in "Fifties Future" It's an idealized glimpse into what the people in the 1950's may have envisioned.

DETAILS OF the painting are Below:
detail: of diner
detail: hover-girl
detail: retro hover babes
a Small ad 4 Fifties Future
Fifties Future Painting Stages
things always look better in a Circle


"TODAY'S REALITY IS THE STUFF OF YESTERDAY'S DREAMS"

Some Insightful Information to think about:

:bulletgreen: There's more computing power in your average cell phone today - than there was on any of the Apollo Spacecraft that took the astronauts to the Moon.

:bulletgreen: Skyscrapers are supreme feats of engineering and design, and in many ways you can mark the passing of time through their technical innovation.

the rest in this series of Oil paintings are here:
#1 MUSCLE 4 SALE
#2 SALAD BAR
#3 TOYING AROUND
#4 EVERYBODIES BEAUTIFUL
#5 FIFTIES FUTURE

Thanks Man, U wouldn't believe all of the research involved in this project. ie: hairstyles, clothing, cars/concept cars from the fifties (which I converted into Hover-Cars) and what was "IN" at that time -- Loads of Fun !

Edward Hopper meets the Jetsons, sweet. Yeah, that was how the year 2000 was suppose to look like, but it didn't. I mean though half the stuff we have, no one thought we would every get.
