CHALK ART - "Postcard #68"

 

Here's a three-for-one postcard in this series. Enjoy!!

 

CHALK ART: "Postcard 67"

Time for a new postcard!!
 

CHALK ART: "Postcard #66"

 

I ran across this editorial online on a sign at a bookstore. Made me chuckle...so I did my version as a "postcard". After I finished my chalk art, it dawned on me that bookstores are almost extinct these days. Ironic.

CHALK ART: "Postcard #65"

Here's the newest Postcard to the Neighborhood. The theme of butterflies was suggested by my neighbor, Julie. I put my weird twist on it, of course.

CHALK ART: "Postcard 64"

Time for a new postcard!! This is the second in a series.

 

CHALK ART: "Postcard # 63"

 I just finished a new "postcard" today.

CHALK ART: "Postcard # 62"

 The POSTCARDS are BACK!!!  Inspired by Spring time and some nice weather.

CHALK ART - "Postcard #61"

I've reached a milestone with today's posting. Decided that it was time to take a break for a while...like the good slacker that I am.

 

Chalk Art: "Postcards 57, 58, 59"

Every so often, I hit on a "theme" for several chalk drawings in my POSTCARDS series. This time the theme is "Ridiculous Nature Facts". These are quirky (and obvious) things that are TRUE, but with a bit of silliness mixed in.

You'll notice in the photo below, I created a template to make sure the wings were equal in length.

 

CHALK ART: "Postcards #54, #55" and 56"

Now that it's officially FALL, I drew up a couple of postcards for the season. 

And here's one I forgot to post, that I did after these two postcards...#56.

 

CHALK ART: "Postcard #53"

Just finished with my latest postcard for the neighborhood. Those who know me well will not be surprised at the subject matter. I LOVE the "Big G"!!! Of course I was listening to multiple soundtracks from recent Godzilla movies while I worked. This postcard is a hybrid of chalk and paint.

 

CHALK ART: "Postcard #52"

 

My latest postcard...94° without heat index.

CHALK ART: "Postcard #51"

Hard to believe it's been over a month since my last "postcard". The STAR WARS theme was inspired by a joke read out loud by my grandson off of the kids menu at a restaurant in Oregon.

 

CHALK ART: "Postcard #50"

I just finished a new postcard about missing the obvious. Like one time, when I was sketching a hippo at the KC zoo, and a teen-girl came up and asked me, "Are you drawing that?" as i was literally drawing it.

CHALK ART: "Postcard # 49"

The "How To Draw It" series continues.

 And I added some "Hot LAVA!" to my sidewalk.

CHALK ART: "Postcard #48"

 

Seems like only a couple days ago, I posted a new chalk "postcard". But the rains came along and washed away all the drawings my neighbor kids did in my driveway. So I thought it would be fun to continue my series on "How To Draw It". I made a template of my shark, to trace around for continuity.

It'll be a day or so for the rains to move on through. Then I'll post what the young artists do!!

CHALK ART: "Postcard #47"

 

Here is my newest chalk postcard. This is a fun one for me, because of the conversation I had last Sunday evening as I was rolling my chalkboard into the garage. Three girls (around 11 years old) that live down the street had tons of good questions about art...but one asked if I would ever show how I draw something step by step. I told her that was a fun idea. So today...I delivered...just before we get tons of rain tonight.

Got a few drawings done by the neighbor kids. A bit tricky to see, due to shadows, and varying degrees of confidence making marks with chalk.

 

CHALK ART: "Postcard #46"

 Here's my latest little chalk project.

CHALK ART: "Postcard #45"

Thought I would share a new "postcard". Spring is so close I can smell the preemergent lawn pellets.

CHALK ART: "Postcard #43"

On this cold, dreary, wet weekend in February, I decided it was time to do another chalk "postcard" to the neighborhood. So I bundled up and worked on it in my garage. I just finished a sculpture project with the same theme and decided to do a variation in chalk.
