Street Painting at Art Soup

Well, another successful street painting occurred this weekend in Elk River, Mn at the Annual Art Soup Festival. Since the festival happens on the banks of the Mississippi River, I thought it would only be fitting to create a street painting of one of the rivers paddle boats. Below you will find some of the shots and the finished images.

Well here is the results of the on-air chalking that was done yesterday for "Twin Cities Live". Thanks to Christian Unser and Melissa Specken for a fun time on set. Also a thank you to Allison Dent for the gig! So the above links will lead you to the two segments that were aired and the two images below are for you viewing as well. The first image is of the final chalk drawing that I did for TCL. It was about a 30 minute chalking. The other image is the chalk drawing that Melissa Specken did. Pretty Cool heh!

Off with the Chalk!

Since I have had a number of questions regarding what happens to the chalk paintings after they are done, here is an answer. I know it seems harsh, but that's what makes this medium so great. The only thing I don't understand though is why they have to be so happy to do it! (Just for your knowledge though, I did ask them to do this so they happy obliged!) Quite a difference from the previous days flower image to this wouldn't you say!

Art in Bloom 2009

This years "Art in Bloom" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts was a mix of beautiful spring weather and lots and lots of people. I had the joy of recreating Cy DeCosse's "White Lotus" for the Saturday festivities. Given the fact I only had a little more than three hours, I think the piece turned out rather well. This street painting measured 7' x 7'.
