Summer Pass Time





My favorite part of summer is breaking out the chalk and going CRAZY! I draw with chalk just about every year, just before it gets to hot to be outside. I went to the riverfront park in Spokane, during the late part of this summer. And there were some chalk artists working on the sidewalk, and I became utterly inspired after seeing their BEAUTIFUL pieces. The only thing that I find sad about working with chalk is that eventually the beautiful works of art will either fade away, or be washed away by rain. On the bright side it is a great way to publicly show your art without the illegal part like graffiti. Here is some of my work, I played around with colors a LOT.

Smoke Painting

Something New and cool, I discovered is painting with Smoke. It's SUPER easy, all you have to do is smoke up a board using a candle, and then use a paint brush to brush away the smoke. But, be careful not to light your board on fire! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z9dBZHwDm8
