CHALK ART: "Postcard 4"

I finished up another chalk "postcard"...#4 so far. The sun was about ready to go behind the tree line, so the photo is not as well lit as usual. I tried something different...chalk spray in a can...was NOT happy with it. I had gone to the trouble of taping off the shape of the unicorn. The spray chalk goes on very wet, and starts to "droop". It was meant for the sidewalk, not a vertical surface. I had also tried some sprays that were supposed to be bright colors...they weren't. So...I went back to drawing with chalk, which does not allow for thick coverage of color...it's just chalk. Anyway...enjoy!

CHALK ART: "Postcard 3"

Here is my latest "postcard". I've had about 20 people stop and chat for a while as I was drawing...super nice folks that have been most gracious in saying "Thanks". If you are faint-of-heart, don't look at the one photo of me erasing the previous chalk-art with a rag and a bucket of water. I decided to show my rough sketch so you can see how things change as I'm drawing. Happy Spring, Everybody!

CHALK ART: "A few more"

As I was posting my latest "Postcards to the Neighborhood" tonight, I realized that I had forgotten to share several other murals that I'd done on my driveway. So here's a little gallery of a few more.
Sometimes, I will come up with a theme, and then invite kids to add their drawings to the driveway.
