The whitewashed side of a local store provided the bricks. After some modifcation
in PSP, I went to Deep Paint to add the markings. The bricks were meant to
be those of the inevitable "brick wall" one runs into that sparks frustration.
The colorful chalk marks represent the fanciful dreams, hopes and enthusiasm
one is attempting to follow before connecting with the bricks. The black
India ink marks are the grudging resignation as one acknowledges the brick
wall as a solid obstacle. Unfortunately, the image ended up appearing more
like someone's idea of bad graffiti in an urban alley.
