Sunset strut on route 66

In Sunset Strut on Route 66, a striking roadrunner takes center stage against the iconic Route 66 highway. Rendered with pastels, the bird’s intricate feather details and piercing gaze are brought to life with remarkable realism. The road stretches into a vibrant, warm-hued sunset, with shades of orange, gold, and hints of purple illuminating the sky. In the background, the sun emits a subtle glow, surrounded by the New Mexico Zia symbol, subtly honoring the Southwest spirit. The iconic Route 66 insignia on the pavement grounds the piece in American nostalgia, while the roadrunner adds a touch of whimsy and motion, as if it’s about to dart down the open road. I really wanted to capture the essence of freedom, adventure, and the timeless allure of the American Southwest with this artwork.
