Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival

There is an annual Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival where we live.  For the past two years we've walked around looking at all the chalk art people had drawn.  This year though, this year, we decided to participate ourselves. 

Logan, just starting his Green Ninja from Lego Ninjago fame.

 Taylor, working on her masterpiece. It will become a beautiful ballerina. 
 

The kids with their finished sidewalk square.

Several friends of ours also drew on the sidewalk that day.  Here are a few of their masterpieces. 

 Kim & Cameron's rendition of Portland, Oregon.

Amy dedicated this Curious George to her two children.

 Mikelle & Hannah's Monarch Butterfly.

And here are some others that we just thought were neat.

 Some of the sidewalk squares had park benches, trash cans, street lamp poles and other things covering parts of them.  Someone at this square made the most of her encroaching water cover.

 

Optical illusions are always fun. 

 Koi fish.

 We watched the girl working on this one.  She had a towel covering the spot that would become the umbrella and person, then she had liquid color that she was splashing down with paintbrushes.  I like how it turned out.

 For all the Terry Pratchett fans out there.

 One of Logan's favorites, Star Wars.

 This one is my very favorite though!

Can't wait for next year.
