Praises of a Wife and Mommy

One of my favorite things each summer is Chalk Fest!  Not because I am an artist and I participate.  I am a spectator that truly enjoys the talents of many!  :)  I do think my husband should do this next year!  I know he is a great artist...he might be a little rusty so I got to get him back into some painting, drawing, etc etc.  :)  This year our favorite was a "Brave" creation that was done by 3 females.  I had a chance to speak with them and they are not art majors but they did such a wonderful job.  They even had made their t-shirts and I told them they should make some kid sizes as I would have bought one for my daughter.  :)   GOOD JOB ARTISTS!!   Check out 2011 Art: Where the Wild Things Are Baby Tangled Bambi

Very Cool!  

Alice in Wonderland!  I have not watched this movie with my daughter yet.  I am not a big fan of this movie but this artist did a great job.  

Where the Wild Things Are!!!  I have not seen the movie yet but I plan too.  I love how this artist added so much color.  She was still not done so I never saw the finished product.  

YAY, BAMBI!  

OR should we head to the beach today???  I think lil man might get to warm???  

I need a beach day!  Do you? 

We are going on a picnic today so I thought this chalk drawing fit the theme of the day.  :)  I believe that this was done by a young man name Brice.  

Oh to be a baby and sleep anywhere.  LOL!  I thought this was adorable...makes me want to find a big watermelon and get my sons picture on it.  :)  

Despicable Me was my daughter's first movie at the movie theatre last summer when we were on vacation in New York.  :)  We thought the movie was great!  I think this artist did a great job of capturing the fun Minion.  :) 

Yesterday I posted my #1 chalk drawing from the 2011 Chalk Fest.  Today I want to post a very neat drawing done by one of our youth group students.  O. had never done this before and look at her talent.  She also entered the drawings late and then had a rain delay.  I really enjoyed her choice of character since my daughters current favorite movie is "Tangled." She will be reading this so give her some love if you love her "Pascal." She told me that her fingers were raw from rubbing the chalk-DEDICATION! O. I Cant wait to see what you create next year!  Good job!!  

It was yet again jaw dropping talent this year at the annual chalk fest. I think over the next couple weeks I will post a picture from the event and make it fun for a couple weeks.  :)  I am going to start with my favorite one.   I found it odd that my favorite picture this year was a black and white one.  It was amazing to see the details in the baby and hand.  The girls in the picture are the artists...at a whopping 15 and 16 years old.  :) BIG TALENT!  GOOD JOB GIRLS!   Again, this chalk drawing was done by a 15 and 16 year old!   Look for more pictures through out the next couple weeks!  :)  Don't forget to enter my giveaway!
