The Telegram

A little more playing around with Crayola 'extreme colors' twistable crayons both as a resist and as an addendum to watercolors. Back in the day, before the majority of folks on flickr were born and relatively fast, distant, communication was prohibitively expensive; one of the most frightening moments for a family was the knock on the door and the voice outside saying "Western Union, telegram for you." Trivial news came via the penny postcard, good news, in a 3 cent, first class letter and only for the worst news possible would one pay to send a telegram! (Parenthetical aside: & you and I know, one can not do that oval mouth and hands to the cheeks without the viewer instantly thinking of Edvard Munch's 'The Scream'. It's moderately interesting that his 'Scream' was a multi-medium piece too: oil, tempera and pastel on cardboard.) Multi-medium: watercolor, pastels, crayon on 140 pound Canson's cold pressed paper, 9 by 12 inches
