YESTERDAY I SHOWED YOU THE ART FORM OF PAINTING IN 3D, WITH CHALK ON A SIDE WALK. TODAY I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW ONE MAN MAKES THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACE INTO HIS CANVAS. ANOTHER TALENTED FELLOW INTRODUCED TO ME BY MY FRIEND SIMPLY_BORING. WHO IS NEITHER SIMPLE, NOR BORING!
MEET SCOTT WADE, THE ARTIST. Wade lives off the unpaved Roadrunner Road north of San Marcos, which dusts the back windows of his car and gives him the canvases to create his own works of art.
DUST ART When the dust gets thick on the back window of his Mini Cooper, Scott Wade uses it as a canvas to create temporary works of art. Besides his finger, Wade uses traditional art tools, such as paintbrushes, and unconventional ones, like a chewed Popsicle stick, to make his drawings.
Among his creations was a copy of C.M. Coolidge's 'A Friend in Need, better known as dogs playing poker.
Wade used his finger and other implements to etch this homage to Vincent Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' and Leonardo da Vinci's ' Mona Lisa'.
A gimme-capped John Kelso was the subject of one window portrait.
He gives everyone some idea of the kind of fun he likes to have.
A portrait of Kinky Friedman on the back of the Mazda driven by Wade's wife, Robin Wood, was featured on the gubernatorial candidate's Web site.
A collage of wildlife decorates the Mini Cooper's window.
Who needs a frost-covered window when you've got road dust to create a Christmas scene? What do you think about this talented fellow? I think he is amazingly talented, and it is a shame that one slip of the water hose, can make his talent go back to the earth from which it was created. I do not pretend to know the mind of a true artist. Perhaps this is what his artistic muse tells him is the way his art is appreciated best. Simply because it is not permanent, and cannot be copied, or stolen. Maybe this is truly the best way to see, and appreciate what is known as art.
