There is always another weekend... another night... another trip... another reason to pile into someone's car and go somewhere!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe rarely stop to consider that someday getting everyone together will become difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut people move away, relationships begin, families grow, careers become demanding, responsibilities multiply, and eventually, the group of people who once seemed inseparable can find themselves living completely different lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting imagines the van long after all of that has happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe doors haven't opened in years... nobody is arguing about where to go next... nobody is sitting in the back... nobody is hungry... or scared... and there isn't another mystery waiting at the end of the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe van remains, but the gang has split up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike much of my Abandoned Collection does, this painting has infected something sacred with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes vehicles aren't just vehicles... they are time capsules that hold onto echoes of entire sections of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour friend's first car...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle that was reserved for roadtrips...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts hard to forget fitting everyone into that backseat, or the songs we all sang together, or the conversations that only made sense to the people who were there... we were just going somewhere at the time... but then years passed by and eventually we realized we weren't just going somewhere... we were driving through a memory that we would someday miss. Living a part of our lives we would never forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the cruel thing about the last adventure...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobody realizes its the last one. There isn't a final mystery. Nobody rolls the credits. One day we all just get out of the van and for reasons nobody completely understands, we just never all get back in. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Abandoned Mystery Van #1 is an independent artistic interpretation inspired by the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Scooby-Doo, Warner Bros., or its respective rights holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI created this series to reconnect with my inner child.
