Hello everybody,

i am searching a photo of this gas station. I would like to find a similar configuration of the house.
I though you could help me?
Does someone know something about this?
Thank you, it is important for me.

It might be an artists fantasy piece. Best bet would be to try to locate the artist through any signature on the front or back of the piece. The artist could tell you what it's based on. Even if the artist is no longer alive, relatives could tell you if they painted from 'life' or not. Even knowing the town the artist lived in might help. Then check with that town's (or the county the town is in) historical society.

Good luck...

Thank you!
Yes, I've tried but I found nothing about him. It's a disney concept art for a abandoned movie. There are no more informations.

The best picture I've found is this one:

But the walls aren't wood.
Artists allways work with references, I am sure this station does really exist;

I would tend to believe that it is a fantasy piece. The structure is architecturally flawed. I have never seen a canopy or false front designed that that.

Yes Nucky I found these information too. But thank you.
Ok Dave, it helps me a lot. I though he had copy it from a picture. But I notice that there was no gas station with wood walls.

Thanks everybody, I will modify on Photoshop a existing gas station to get this result.
I work on a Matte painting based on this concept art.
