Fail! Bridges 11 and 14

Bridges #14, pastel, 11x14, 2002
Bridges #11, pastel on sandpaper, 8x11, 2002
Argh!  I forgot to post this morning, so I have failed at my resolution of posting every other morning.  And yet life goes on.  I want to continue posting so here I am.

After using the fabulous Wallis sandpaper, I thought that regular old sandpaper would work just as well.  Not so.  It was ok.  Of course it also is not PH balanced and so who knows how long it will last.

I'm interested in continuing to revisit this bridge series, but I don't think it's necessary to post every single one. Often the differences are not dramatic.  I like the dark brown stenciled shape in #11 against the vibrant wiggly lines.  Bridge #14 turned purple and seems to float.  I wonder if this was the beginning of that wiggly line thing that I seem to repeat often.
