I'd seen the 3-D chalk drawings in e-mails sent by friends, but somehow the fact that they were chalk never took hold in my mind.<br /><br />The ones you photographed in Marietta, Georgia, amaze me with the detailing. I liked the winner, but then I liked all the ones you displayed for us--Lincoln and the Civil War depictions and the puma and the horses.<br /><br />But I have to say that my favorite of all you showed us was the one by a child who did the three giraffes. That had such gaiety to it that it warmed my heart.<br />And the truth is that my favorite animals are cats, giraffes, horses, and wolves!

It is so fun as a passerby, to be able to walk by, observe for a while, leave and be able to come back an hour later to see the progress.<br />Being able to stay till the end is even more enjoyable, I was never able to do that.<br />Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354559064351144704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-61307769322336768152013-10-12T16:32:13.151-04:002013-10-12T16:32:13.151-04:00Gorgeous.

Your photos are terrific...as is the artwork... My stepbrother used to participate in a lot of these exhibits/shows down in South Florida. I personally wouldn't want to put so much work into something that will not last.

I can't remember if you saw the first of the two Art Prize posts I did on The Marmelade Gypsy -- the first highlights Greg and his work on his giant Michigan-themed Faberge eggs. He's also done talks at Detroit Institute of Arts on the medium. It fascinates me because it is probably one of the most ephemeral -- even more than traditional ephemera! Gone in a rainstorm when it is outside. I so admire the artists you featured -- they are incredibly talented and deserve the showcase this festival provided.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-90166395705324016932013-10-12T10:27:37.498-04:002013-10-12T10:27:37.498-04:00So very very Beautiful and Creative....I have alwa...So very very Beautiful and Creative....I have always been attracted to the Odd Perspective Chalk Drawings--they fascinate me as an artist.
