Hot-dogs in art

These are not photographs............ they are paintings by a Ralph Goings a realist painter to see more of his "food" paintings go to

Good grief Frank! I go to the page and I thought I stumbled on a Parses6 hangout
I must say his style looks exactly like a photograph; a unique style for sure.

Frank, I posted my reply and when I checked what else was new on this board, I found someone posted about Ralph yesterday! What are the odds? Its under "Off Topic and Lighter Fare".

my god....Deja Vu all over again.....................

A happier time, a slower time, a hot dog time, a CHEAPER time. Did you notice gas was only $1.28 in one of those paintings????

Ah, back in the day....

well they say great minds think alike...

dream painter...................... weird how we both hit on the talents of the same artist at almost the same time.
I was wrapping up my former job as Art Commissioner for the city of San Jose CA. when I came across Ralph Goings work as I deleted art work off of my computer. I'm from the old school and loved realism but Silicon Valley loves the latest in Hi Tech Art so it was a long time since I enjoyed some realism.
When I came across Goings hot-dog pics I thought we folks at Roadfood.con would also like seeing them. ......................... browse through his web site and view his diner pics, and you might want to Google him at http://images.google.com/advanced_image_search?hl=en

and yes this too is a painting........

i am amazed and awed by ralph goings.

So, Frank, what sort of venue are you moving into now?

One of the artists on WetCanvas is working on a diner scene, someone posted a similar scene by Goings. A quick browse of his site and I knew it had to be shared here.

Fascinating stuff. I really like it. Sorry I never knew about him before.

These things are amazing!
They remind me a little of 17th century Dutch art - genre paintings and still lifes.
