Sidewalk Art Festival

So we went to a sidewalk art festival close to where we live earlier this year. I was impressed with the detail that I saw in the artwork. There were people there still drawing and finishing up their work. It was nice to see how people start their work and see the process behind the artwork.

This picture is so good that when I cropped out the sidewalk it is almost hard to tell that it was done on the sidewalk.
Some Artists working on their masterpieces.
Ok I thought this one was cute!
My little girl is a fan of "Hello Kitty" these days. Here she is getting her face painted.
Aren't they 2 cute kids!
I was surprised that this was the only 3D picture we found there. I think it also turned out better in the picture than real life but pretty impressive all the same.
The featured Artist of the show
Checking out the Art work
This reminded me of my niece who is quite the artist herself. I have watched her draw dragons for years now and curious to see what she could do on sidewalk with some chalk. Maybe a new challenge for her.
I am impressed but the detail and also the thought behind this one. As a mom you never can take your eyes off of your children. You watch them grow and they always seem little. You never want to see them hurt or sad. You always want to see them happy even when there are times telling them no is the best thing for them. It breaks your heart to know that for their own good you have to tell them no. But it would break your heart more if you did and they had to learn the lesson later under harder circumstances. SO ya this is what comes to my mind looking at this picture.
This is cool because you get to see what the goal is and the outline as well as the detail that is already starting to show up.
Contemplative
We saw minions and couldn't help get a picture of our little minion. Whenever we watch "Despicable Me" and he hears the Minions laugh he does the exact same laugh. It is cute.
After taking a picture of her brother and seeing "Tangled" she had to have her picture too.
Harold and the Purple Crayon
We saw this picture and thought of a Sister in Law who is a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn.
Finding Nemo
Ballerina Dancer
Getting their turn to draw on the sidewalk. There was a section just for them to do this.
He found a rock but that is his finished drawing on the sidewalk.
When it was all over we went to a Hawaiian Barbecue place for dinner. SO YUMMY!

Looks like tons of fun! I love art shows :-) A picture can tell you a 1,000 words so I completely understand about the mother's eye on her child.
