So I went to Lakeland for the Chalk for Charity Event. It was a cold morning and I was frazzled from a long week of work...or two weeks with no break , as I worked full days Saturday and Sunday and long days all week. I really did not want to get up the morning of the show.
And so I arrived late and did not do well. The weather really turned out beautiful. Perhaps I was too ambitious for a one day show. For sure I did not get up and regauge as I worked. Perspective was way off and time ran out...no shadowing, retouching. Truthfully, I went back and finished after the awards were distributed...and was ordered out of the road when cars started driving right at me!
The result...the beginning of a pretty good lab and a girl who looked like a Fraggle (ever watched fraggle rock?) Oh to have had another day!
Oh wait, I will have another day! That is the beauty of streetpainting. The work disappears and the canvas is ready to go again. And so, I shall return to chalk another day.
Wish me more success as I go to the Uptown Art Expo at Crane's Roost in Altamont Springs next.
