Stewie on a leash

Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Metal
Description
Adjacent to the larger Traffic Signal Box, Stewie poses on the smaller utility box. Because he was outside the Dog Park, Stewie needed to be seen on a Leash, to comply with the laws regarding dogs on leashes. The leash runs around the side and your imagination has to draw the holder of the leash.
The City of La Quinta, as in Palm Desert, has a program for placing public art throughout the city. The boxes are regular utility boxes designed to fit into the environment or depict the parks or schools around them.

Unless in the dog park, dogs need to be on a leash. On this utility box, Stewie sits patiently on a leash. His image graces a utility box.. The painting had to accommodate locks, light sensors, doors and handles. This location at Miles Blvd and Seeley Drive near Washington Blvd is one of 4 such public art projects.
