Timeless Grove Park – Behind the Scenes

The inspiration for this painting was initially sparked while walking around studying the beautiful architecture of the Grove Park Inn resort with the hope of finding that perfect view.  As I did this, I was reminded of my first visit and remembered the cover for the 31st Conference catalog.  My desire was to find a shot that captured a similar angle from the historical 1913 photos, incorporating the cars from that era with the present day modifications to the building and mature landscaping. I was hoping to create a timeless piece reminiscent of vintage travel posters.
