Beaded Back to the Future - Part 3

beaded Back to the Future pop art beadwork DeLorean Lone Pine Mall Einstein
Time Traveler (Part 3).
Seed beads, acrylics, newspaper collage. 16" x 20".

Today, I am proud to announce that I have finally finished my series of paintings featuring my beaded DeLorean time machine! My beaded Einstein has returned from time-traveling... except he is not beaded! He is merely a paper photograph - like a memory of his past existence. Is this because he has changed the past? Or maybe Einstein has seen the future, and when he returns everything is history... I suppose it is up to you to decide...

Regardless, this painting also depicts the fact that cars of the past had a terrible emissions problem. Hopefully, American cars of the future will run cleaner and more efficiently on alternative fuels. But, I don't think they will have the kind of horsepower required to travel through time! It seems to me, that will be a thing of the past. ;)

The emissions, however are wonderfully painted. I always run into trouble painting ethereal stuff.

The Lone Beader said...

Thank you!! I used acrylics like a watercolour and kept layering silvers, and grays to make the emissions! I like how they turned out! :D

Do you think cars will run on rubbish one day? I'd love to use banana peals to power my Ford Focus. Looks awesome!
