Earlier this summer, street chalk artist Robert Mott asked for approval to use one of my Flickr images as inspiration for a chalk drawing to be done at a special event in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I said, "Sure." My original image, "Mexican Brass," is on the left in this diptych. It was captured during a 2015 Cinco de Mayo celebration in Sedona, Arizona. The image on the right was provided by Robert, and shows him at work on the chalk drawing.

Leider komm ich nur noch selten zum Zeichnen oder Malen. Zwar nicht gut, aber mit viel Spass verbunden :-)
Unfortunately, I rarely come to drawing or painting. Although not good, but involves a lot of fun :-)

The American flag blowing in the wind near a window captured here reflecting and distorting in the glass of an old chalk drawing hanging on the living room wall. The soft vertical lines reflected in the glass are from vertical blinds.
It's a lazy photograph, you might say. I snapped it while sitting on the couch.

One of our clients has the world's cutest Scottish Fold cat named Moose. She gave me permission to post this photo she took of her mother, her two little boys and Moose.
Moose's grandmother is an ICU nurse working on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic but stopped by her daughter's home to draw a portrait of Moose on the pavement for her grandsons. I think this is one of the most touching photos taken during the pandemic of love and social distancing.

"Don't step on the cracks" is a common children's superstition. It originates from the saying, "Step on a crack, break your mother's back," and is a playful way to encourage kids to be mindful of their surroundings while walking. While not based on any real-world dangers, it's a fun tradition that many people remember from their childhood.
This day an age perhaps a profound warning for adults too :P

Our Arts Alive chalk drawing festival was back with the theme of "Lights, Camera, Action". I went over with Sandy and Gracie Friday morning when they were just starting and Sunday afternoon when the judging had taken place.
It was fun to find this sweet teenager had won an Honorable Mention for her drawing and you can see how it all starts. 3 days to create something that will be hosed down later today. But I saved my favorites.
Below is a photo of the winner and her friend who helped with the big black spaces - they were so excited:

This was a special moment that all fit into place. I had a seat while I was walking to my bus stop. Soon after young Hispanic man sat down nearby and was talking to, from what I gathered from the Spanish conversation, his daughter. Valerie was her name. She was on speaker phone and she sounded like she was maybe three or four. He keep saying "Valerie?", she would say "What?" and he would say "You're so funny, Valerie." and she would laugh.
And with the children's chalk drawings all around at that moment I knew I had to grab a picture of this.

Seen on a sidewalk in Saratoga, NY a few years ago. Whatever we say or do, it will never be enough. Thinking of my dad who is a WWII vet and will be 100 at the end of the month. Thank you, Dad - and to all the vets and their families.

that's right a bench drawn with chalk. i had this idea last night because of my picture from yesterday. well there was one problem, i had no idea how to draw a bench. so i spent all morning on the internet looking at different benchs, sketched some different ones up to see how they looked and settled on this one. i know its not the best but ive never been all that great with making stuff 3D and such. anyways, Happy Bench Monday! hope its a good one!
p.s. since i have already done two pictures this week with chalk i think i might just make this week a chalk theme for me!

RAWR {explore 298} . . . The girls room looks out at the school behind our house. Last night when I was putting them to bed I noticed this picture on the wall. I knew I would have to get a shot of it for today. It rained a bit this morning so the teeth "ran" a bit..but it was not taken off by the school. There was another drawing a few walls down that was erased..I wonder what t that looked it :)
I also noticed everyone who walks by it says...RAWR ;)
