Untitled by artjte

my mind sort of went blank so I did this 
work and fun  but a note's for next year
- poll & tape so I don't have to kneel down to paint it all
- tent "I bake in the sun"
- smaller brushes for the details
- cooler with more water and snacks got a little low toward the end.
- box of Crayola sidewalk chalk 
- knee pads or garden foam pad

this time I did it for the Pharmacy but next year I might get my own 6x6 square.

OK I finally did some thing in a Timely manner. Well semi timely.

-----This was the Final Project 10 images with a common Theme + artist statement.-----


---Artist Statement---
___Sometimes a single image tells a vast story and other times its just a moment pulled out of time, Silent. Here lets try to give thoughts silent moments a little more of a voice.

___Lets take a Walk,
In this busy world of ours its nice just to leave it all behind and take a walk and let our minds go were ever they want to. (NO I did not do any illegal drugs before hand.)

___Down by my store is one of the major Railroad lines so one day I took off early and had a Quiet (although slightly illegal) walk on the tracks. As I came up to a modern train I think back to the old Iron Horses that would of rolled down the tracks. As I look at the engines walkway I think of Billy the Kid up there ready for anything. Later look-en at a Grain car I see a big hand wheel and my mind go's away to the open Sea and the deck of a tall ship with a Pirate at the Ships Wheel Yo-Ho-Ho. Uh-oh here comes a train so its time to go before I get caught, but I still feel like I need more. The next day I'm free (and not in Jail) so lets try a old Train track that's now being turned into a bike trail. As I start off I pick up a leaf and think of the little guy on the NO trespassing sign the other day free to walk with me today. Now this trail is still being worked on but there are barricades more for motor vehicles then Me, I think, but in some places I think they could be put to better uses. Now when this was a Railroad it was used to haul grain form large farm elevators built by the tracks. These towers of the prairie have always made me think of some sort of secret launch sight. Sometimes you see just some old broken thing parked by someone on some unused speck of land forgotten. Don't you think these things remember better days. As I come upon the first finished bridge they have a barricade up and all I can think of is (what is this suppose to stop). Later I find what its Suppose to stop.

___Thanks for taken a Walk with Me and my Mind
a lot better then some Pitchers of flowers...
