East of Porterville

I returned to an older work of mine for a few small additions, which was one of the central pieces in my exhibition at the Karikaturmuseum Krems.
Anyway, the reason is that I stumbled upon a small painting by Carl Barks by chance. Going with the title "East of Porterville" (#21-69, 1969, Carl Barks). And—due to the similar layout—it reminded me of my work. The two paintings clearly tell different stories; Barks' is obviously showing an abandoned house, the mailbox having since become a nesting place for songbirds. Mine, on the other hand, emphasizes an architectural idea. What Donald Duck's "ordinary" suburban house, with its gabled roof and all the rest we know from it, would look like if Carl Barks had opted for a modernist version.
In any case, I had now borrowed the little songbird from Barks's painting. It somehow completes the picture now.
