Loew’s Jersey Theatre
Copyright Larry Johnston
Loew’s Jersey Theatre
Jersey City, NJ
While researching local landmarks in my home-town of South Bend, Indiana, I recreated the Old Palace theatre, to make it look like it did in its thriving era. I started a series of the old theatres that were built during the 1920’s, which included the Chicago Theatre. Later I discovered the Loew’s Jersey, which, at the time was in disrepair was closed in 1986.
The fascination to me was the animated clock outside the building, which had two statues above the clock, St. George and a Dragon. There were red light bulbs in the dragon’s mouth which, when lit, simulated fire. On the quarter hour, the clock would chime and the statues would perform and the knight would approach the dragon and tip forward with his lance simulating a lunge.
The theatre was remodeled and reopened in 1996.
Other Theatres I have painted are: The Palace in South Bend, IN; The Reese in Plymouth, IN; Fox in Detroit, Atlanta’s Fox, Fox #2 in Atlanta; The Chicago Theatre; The Los Angeles Theatre; Warner Theatre, Elkhart and the Lerner Sign in Elkhart, Indiana.

Jackson Drink Stand

Jackson Drink Stand
LaGrange, Georgia
I exhibited at several art festivals in LaGrange, Georgia in the mid 1980’s. After every show, I drove around and take pictures of interesting places in the area, so I could paint one or more for the next years showing. LaGrange, was no exception.
As I was driving around town, I had reached an area that was about to change from the nostalgic look to the normal look of the town, so I pulled into a parking lot to turn around, when I saw this old house, with a couch on the front porch. I guess that was their version of a porch swing, without the swing. I took a few pictures of it, then as I turned around, there it was, “Jackson Drink Stand”. Was this alley, the road at one time? I don’t know, but it was a store, that had once been used, but has since closed. You never know what you find in out of the way places.

Louis Lunch

Louis’ Lunch
Gainesville, Florida
I remember stopping in at Louis’ Lunch during our times at the Gainesville Art Festivals and talking to the owner and looking at all the historic pictures on the walls. Louis’ Lunch, was established in 1928 by Louis Pennisi. The building sat at the corner of SE Fifth Ave and SE Second Street.
His unique Burgers were inspired by his mother’s meatball recipe, which became a staple of the area, along with the milk shakes and fries. Louis sold the business to his son in 1952, where Freddie continued the tradition until his father’s death at age 104.
During a burglary attempt, Freddie was killed in 1993 and in 1995 Tom Pennisi reopened the business.
Louis’ Lunch, eventually closed because of the recession and the road construction in the area in November, 2010. The painting is now an icon in the History of Gainesville, Florida

Pinto Motel
The Pinto Motel
While exhibiting at an Arts Festival, at the Shrimp Festival, in Gulf Shores, Alabama, I was approached by a young couple that was interested in several paintings to be commissioned. He had seen my work before and brought a photo with him. At this point I did not know that the several paintings would be four of the same picture.
I was handed a black and white photo of the Pinto Motel. It looked like it had been vacant for many years. You know, it was the kind of photograph with the rippled edges, from before I was born. It seems, that their ancestors owned a motel somewhere in the southwest. The owner had passed away many years ago. It was one of the 4 grandchildren that wanted me to paint four paintings, in color, so he could keep one and give the other three as presents to his three siblings. All four of the paintings were 9″ x 12″. I bet it was a treasured gift, since the motel was probably gone by then.
Marathon Gas Pump
Marathon Gas Pump
Central Indiana
During my years of painting and selling, I had many requests for prints. The subjects ranged from outhouses to Fancy Theatres. As I collected my subjects and painted them, I started painting them in sets of four. One of those sets included Gas Pumps. They included Texaco, Shell, Gulf, American, Sinclair and Marathon. As you can see, my sets of four grew as more requests came in.
One of those pumps I found, was in central Indiana, north of Indianapolis. Many farmers had their own pumps for the farm equipment. This one was behind the farm-house, out by the barn. The old pump up gas pump, with the glass top was still in pretty-good condition, however you can tell they no longer use it, since the rubber filler hose was missing. It was called a “Gravity Pump”. You pumped the gas into the glass top, for the amount you wanted and then when you were ready, you opened the valve and the gravity forced the gas through the hose into the equipment. Several of my paintings included gravity pumps.
The Marathon pump was conveniently located, right by the entrance to the fields. With Winter at hand, there was not much activity.
