What’s a Podunk you might ask? Well, a Podunk is a tiny remnant of a town that still has life. In Wyoming and in other wide open spaces, any slight suggestion or hint of a town qualifies it as a destination on a map. Some of these “towns” might only have one building. What makes it curious is that this one building might be a place of business or even a functioning post office that someone lives in. A post office might also be a place where one can buy a candy bar and some fencing pliers. So interesting and unique to me, I have been inspired to try and capture the character of rural Wyoming in my miniature paintings. The images themselves are no larger than four inches wide and just over a couple inches tall. Yes, they are small but they are alive…just like their real-life inspirations.
I would like to preview my first Night-time Podunk, “Christmas at Rooster’s, Glendo, Wyoming”
