Here’s my drawing of a black and gold hot air balloon. Giclee printed semi gloss on paper. Available in 5”, 8” & 12” square and 5”x7” & 8”x12” vertical rectangle.
Larger prints 16”, 20”, 24” & 30” square prints with a semi gloss finish on premium Kodak photo paper.
The inspiration: One morning in October we piled into the car before dawn and drove South to catch the balloon flight scheduled for that morning from the festival. We near the huge and crowded event we saw them lifting off and followed them. Eventually going ahead of their steady direction and finding a park to sit on the grass and watch about a hundred float over. As the balloons began to dwindle we started to make our way home. Anticipating a nice brunch. Then we noted a number of balloons landing in a neighborhood. This gold and black balloon touching down exactly in the driveway of a classic adobe house. I took lots of photos to work from and whenever I look at this drawing I think “Honey, I’m home!”
