At least it’s an obvious reproduction. Missed a bunch of stuff on the pump, the lens, the face plate, and let’s not start on the crooked letters. Don’t think the artist could draw a straight line to save their life! LOL

LOL Matt!

Did you all think I was that mean?

Thanks to Matt Alvarez for letting me copy his wonderful pump, and showing me the different ad glass choices, and when I needed to see one with a globe, thanks to Paul H (severngaspumps.com) for directing me to his great site to see how the globe sat. Any mistakes are both unintentional and intentional as I am not a photo realist painter. And yes, I cannot paint a straight line to save my life. Plus I didn't want to drive myself nuts using straight edges and doing precise measurements.

My regret was that I was unable, because of health, to complete the three different pumps I wanted to do for a show.

The painting (5' tall) is now hanging in my living room. Sometime in my future, I plan to replace it with the real thing.
