Sonic blues
The color "sonic blue" was introduced as Stratocaster color option in 1960. The color itself was four years old by then and like many other Fender colors of that era was initially car paint, this particular one was applied on Cadillacs from 1956.
In any case, the color has a lot of the magic from times that were quite different. The wars were over, there was a steady economic boom for at least two more decades to come, rock and roll just started to become really big... Of course, there were things not good at all, cold war, open discrimination, lobotomy, etc.. but this color had some promise towards a better future. Still has and we still need it.
Acrylic on wrapped and stretched canvas.
Size 16" x 20" (40.6 x 50.8 cm).
Sides are painted, ready to hang.
Protected with matte varnish.
