This print shows my watercolor and ink painting of a rest stop that once stood on the Southern State Parkway, Lakeview, Long Island. Construction began on the Southern State in 1925 under the direction of Robert Moses. The parkways were designed to serve as an atmospheric extension of state parks, with beautiful stone structures and wooden lampposts. One can see a small sign on the lawn for Socony, the precursor to Mobil. These gas stations—and the lanternlike streetlights— fascinated me to no end as a kid. They were all phased out by the late 1980s. This gas station stood to the right of the eastbound side, between exits 17 and 18.

Each giclee print is one of an edition of 500, printed on archival Hahnemuhle paper, signed and numbered by the artist.
