INSPIRATION FROM THE GAS STATION
I hit a creative wall yesterday afternoon and needed to take a little breather from the studio, so I got in the car and drove down the road to the gas station to get a cold drink. While I was there, I surveyed the aisles for bits of inspiration and came home with this little collection of treasures.
I've painted the Prairie Belt sausage can before, but it's worth having on a shelf in my studio because I love it so. I've painted a cracker before, too, but this mini-pack is just too cute. And how awesome is it that the gas station down the road has pimentos? I guess you never know when a craving for pimento cheese will hit.
I guess you never know when inspiration will hit, either.

Girl, if I lived in MS. we would be best friends. I love love love looking at cans/packages of food. When I was in high school I would walk to the grocery store and just wander the aisles taking photos. I can't wait to see those lemon planks in a painting.
Good luck with the show! I'll be in Corinth the last couple of weeks of September for Pop's birthday. Maybe I can juke down to Oxford and say hello.
