Truxtun Lakes Yacht Club – “Life As It Should Be” Retro Poster (11×14″)

Celebrate the refined optimism of the Truxtun Lakes Yacht Club with this vibrant 11×14" poster—an advert straight out of the alternate timeline where Bakersfield became the inland Riviera.

Featuring dramatic geometric rays, a setting sun, and sailboats gliding across calm mid-mod waters, this artwork embodies the classic advertising promise:
Escape to Beauty and Relaxation — Life As It Should Be.

Designed in the style of 1960s civic-resort promotion, this piece channels the era when:

Bakersfield still believed in big, sun-splashed dreams

The Chamber of Commerce wasn’t afraid to pitch a yacht club in the middle of the Central Valley

Floyd Wayne Communities sketched out a lakeside paradise with the confidence of a Palm Springs developer

And “escape” didn’t require leaving Kern County—just enough imagination

This print delivers:

✨ High-impact mid-century color palette
✨ Crisp geometric angles and serene water reflections
✨ Retro resort optimism baked right into the ink
✨ A “mostly realish” Truxtun Lakes Yacht Club insignia seal

Perfect for game rooms, lounges, tiki bars, yacht-club-themed dens, or any KRSCo-themed wall that needs a splash of elegant fantasy.

Printed on premium archival matte stock for rich color and long-lasting mid-mod charm.

Escape the ordinary. Or at least pretend you can.
