Entertainment. Bridges 17 and 20

Bridge #20, pastel on black paper, 11x14, 2002

Bridge #17, wax crayon, 9x12, 2002

At this point, I was into it and really having fun.  Using wax crayon on paper that is on a heated griddle is the coolest thing.  The color just glides and you can push it around and it blends just a little at the edges.  The problem is I don't know what type of paper to use so it will last.  There is a grease stain at the edges of the picture like with oil pastel.

Shortly after this, I noticed that the bridge form upside down looks like the bottom of a ferris wheel or some other carnival ride.  Since this is all about having fun and letting the image do what it will, I let it be a carnival ride.  It is still the bridge and yet it isn't.

Next post by Sunday morning or sooner.
