I Picked Up Some Sidewalk Chalk While My Kids Played Outside And Then This Happened

ADVERTISEMENT

When my youngest kid was 3 she wanted to play outside with the big kids, but I couldn’t just let her wander the neighborhood alone so I started drawing on the driveway with sidewalk chalk.

What started as a way to pass the time 3 year ago has morphed into a passion I never knew I had. I have no formal training; in fact my high school art teacher told me not to waste my time. Now, I’m getting invited to chalk at events all over my city.

If you told me 3 years ago I’d be chalking a huge Mona Lisa Miss Piggy for a local, popular art festival I’d have said, “You’re crazy!” but that’s exactly what I did yesterday!

Pooey on your art teacher! Follow your passion and do what you love. I couldn't get into the writer's club in my school and I've published four books and over fifty articles (and even made it into Wikpedia) so there!
