Wistful
The parrot caught my eye first — quirky, sun-faded, presiding over a billboard that still quotes its prices with perfect confidence. Polly was an independent brand, the kind of regional personality that belonged to a specific place and time, long before fuel became a commodity you pumped without thinking.
I converted the scene to night, a lone star keeping the parrot company in the desert quiet. It felt right for my wistful mood — not grief, just a light ache. I wish the prices were still that low.
But there's something else here. EV charging stations don't advertise like this. You're lucky to find a small sign pointing you to the back corner of a parking lot. No personality, no parrot, no competition on price. Most people lock into a provider and accept the rates.
The age of Polly — independent, local, a little eccentric — isn't coming back.
I believe in connecting personally with those who appreciate my work. Each print is created through conversation—we'll discuss what drew you to this image, then I'll oversee every detail from paper selection to presentation.
