Lookin'

                                     After that neat talk by trever anderson and his truly neato film about the high level bridge, and looking at Journal Edmonton's blog with her map pages , i feel inclined to....  post this picture , but first i'll explain it.
my friend, after graduating with a poli sci degree and being on unemployment, got a job doing research for the conservative party. and commissioned me to paint a peice for his office. and i thought uuhmmm conservative... yuppie.... legislature...... and came up with this. I never thought to think about the attachment we all have with this bridge, as an icon, as something that links and seperates, as a suicide launcher.   i had a strange relationship with the hiogh level while painting it because it was hard to make all the bars look accurate, which is what i was trying to do. but anyway.. and now that feeling is gone, as with the money i got paid, and it is just a thing i walk on to get home when its not too cold outside. as are all good things in life ..

 36" x 30". acrylic
the little guy at the bottom is pretty cheesy, i know, but the guy who i did it for is a folk singer so, the hobo-esque figure, has a soft spot in his folky heart. also excuse the plastic wrap on wall behind.  i should have cropped the photo. i should have done a lot of things ..  (sneakers).

also I really liked it when trever said, today, that having limitations is healthy for art making.
my biggest limitation in life is money, specifically, the lack there of. i dont think its very healthy.

(sneakers?@?@?!!?)
