Did the annual chalk event in Belmont Shore, where they tape paper to the sidewalks in a busy shopping district. This year my chalk was based loosely on The Sunshade by William John Leech, a 1913 painting in the National Gallery of Ireland.

This was my entry in the Belmont Shore Chalk Art Contest in Long Beach today. They put down good art paper, but we're still chalking on a busy sidewalk--it's one of my favorite days all year. This is loosely based on a depiction of Mary Magdalene in a Dutch missal c.1500; I've never tried the background lettering technique before but I like how it turned out. A passerby called it "the Patron Saint of Pumpkin Spice" so that's the name now.
