Lady Liberty

Part of the 4th of July celebrations in my town included a chalk art festival. The sidewalks were lined with people creating their own works of chalk art. This was one of my favorites.

@taffy Thanks for your comment, Taffy. Unfortunately, these do not last very long. These are on the sidewalks of a public park. While we don't get much rain in the summer, I think the sprinklers and pedestrians will do them in in short order. Such a shame, really. There were a lot of wonderful works of art!
July 7th, 2013  
Super find and shot for 4th July. Has a very retro feel to it too - one for the challenge?
July 7th, 2013  
Wow! a great find. You captured it perfectly!
July 7th, 2013  
This is beautiful for theme-retro. Maybe it's not too late to tag. Such skill with this art!
July 8th, 2013  
Love the angle and composition and that you've included the artist's working sketch. Great capture.
July 8th, 2013  
Some of these chalk artists are so talented - love the angle of this!
July 8th, 2013
