The Road to Nowhere with apologies to Talking Heads!

My first attempt at trompe loeil!  Without a road of some sort past the background flats the entire valley end would have been cut off.  That would never do so I created a gap between Rio Bozo Consolidated and Smith's.  I found a suitable photo of a curved dirt road on Google images and printed it out to size. I cut out the appropriate horizon line and with a bit of bodging glued it onto the wall.  I ran a plaster road up to the wall which I raised at the back and I rounded a crown in it too.  There will be view blocking structures in front I think.


A start is made




Getting there
