This is a period beach motel from 1945 here in NC that we were staying next to for a few days. It is immaculate and entirely unchanged. I love nostalgia and the feeling that you literally could step back in time staying here. And even better, Joy Lee still owns and runs the motel that her father had built and named after her. I went and chatted to her about the motel and its history and I wanted to paint about her story. She was every bit circa 1965 and as immaculate as her motel.
