Roadside Bride Print

Subtitle: "She fell in love with roadside statues—finally one loved her back!" After my father died in 2017, I decided that I wanted to try my hand at collage. I needed to do something different to help with the grief. I love the juxtaposition of ideas that emerge from creating assemblages. So I visited the Library of Congress (LOC) and Wikimedia Commons to collect assets in the public domain. On the LOC website I found a lovely collection of photos by John Margolies called Roadside America. I was struck by the downright weirdness of some of the roadside statues. I kept chuckling and repeating to myself "only in America." I suppose there's a reason they call it "Amerciana." We're a quirky bunch. So Roadside Bride happened from me playing with images of various roadside statues. I consider this piece a self-effacing celebration of American quirkiness! I started with a layer of acrylic paint on top of the gesso, just to start blocking in colors and values. The final two coats are oil paint.
