CHALK THE WALK in Gig Harbor
"Kelly & Carol Haughton's Sunset On Wollochet Bay" 5'x5'
pastel and sidewalk chalk
pastel and sidewalk chalk
Here I am painting in front of the Full Moon Art Gallery, 3155 Harborview Drive in Gig Harbor.
"Chalk The Walk" is sponsored by the Gig Harbor Historical Waterfront Assoc.
Four other professional artists and a swarm of budding artists, children and their families, adorned the harbor with their celebration and interpretation of marine art. It was a great community event. I loved all the comments from passers-by and all the excitement the event generated.
A beautiful fun summer day!
