"Saturn (after Goya)" by Troy's Work Table. Frost Park Chalk Off 8:6. Friday 08 May 2015.

The original plan was to draw a piece that was an homage to Saturn Devouring His Son by Goya, but I made a mistake in the place I chose to chalk. First, I chose a wall. I usually chalk on the sidewalk because I find it easier to chalk when I can move around my "canvas." Second, my chalk and charcoal wasn't sticking to the concrete as I had planned. My charcoal was breaking up and the colors weren't adhering the same way that they do on the "new concrete" sections of sidewalk I usually choose. So my homage isn't anywhere near as dark as Goya' piece. I ended up with a Fauvism-meets-Goya version of Saturn. I added some lollipop balloons and called it quits. It is really more rough sketch than finished piece in my mind. Oh well.

"Minotaur 4" by Troy's Work Table. Frost Park Chalk Off 8:6. Friday 08 May 2015.

My second piece was another quick chalk doodle, but this time on sidewalk. I initially was just drawing another bull head, but then decided to add the cartoon-outline body and it worked! He's as much Baal as he is Minotaur, so he can battle Saturn once the latter Titan is done chewing on one of his kids.

This section of sidewalk is one of the older concrete sections surrounding Frost Park, but I made due. I'm also pretty happy with this piece.
