If there was ever a product more widely depicted on road signs along rural America than Coca-Cola, I don’t know what it would be.  Notwithstanding those of Bull Durham and Burma Shave perhaps!  Oh how eagerly and carefully I looked for those Burma Shave signs to appear as a boy!

I painted “Hays to you!“  back in 1992 where the original has hung in our living room ever since.  In 2013, after completion of “Up Oreo Road” I decided to make such paintings as these into an on-going series and to bring them out to all of you in Giclee print.   Please look for more of these offerings within this “American Road Sign Series”.

“Hays to you!”  was painted as I was inspired from a Coca-Cola serving tray that I found somewhere in my travels.  The girl seemed to be saluting me from it.  A peaceful hay field then seemed to me a great sitting for this pretty girl with the hi-held glass.    The grandiose barn across the golden field is fictional, and seemed grand enough to display this painted toast to all of you.   Hays to you, America!
