Chalk them Bunnies!!

I was incredibly honored to be asked to contribute a chalk drawing on the grounds (literally) of the Memorial Art Gallery!

The day that they wanted the chalk was for the Neighborhood of the Arts celebration. Unfortunately that day was already booked for me at work so I asked if I could come really early to chalk before I had to leave for work. They agreed and I got myself out of bed super early. Just me and some security folks at that time of day. Eventually there were some dog walkers but by the time anyone from the event showed up I was already finishing up.

I could have spent hours longer noodling away and adding more detail but alas I ran out of time. Honestly I got more finished than I had figure I would when I started. Those squares are big (I think the full size ones were about 4’x5’). So it’s covering roughly 4 times the space of what I normally do at the Perry Chalk Festival.

I was able to stop back a few days later before the rain and got some photos of what got made by the visitors to the Gallery that day.

I think the piece being in the shade helped it last longer. The day after I took the other photos it POURED so I imagine that washed it away.

That’s the joy of the chalk work for me. It’s temporary.

Glad to be creating again and appreciative of the people who ask me to create for them.

edit: the stuff behind the drawing is Russian Sage. Smells amazing! 10 out of 10 would recommend.
