THE WEEKENDER-PRETTY AS....

WHAT IS NOT TO LIKE?

   The Italian street painters are back in San Luis Obispo. Pros, amateurs, hobbyists and students fill the Mission Plaza with energy and art under the brilliant, if not hot, California sun. This year we take a peek at works in progress.

    We arrived in San Luis Obispo late one Sunday evening, flying back from a trip, but made a midnight swing through the Plaza to behold the art that disappears rapidly.  

YOUR TICKET TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

   During a particular six year period I went to Cannes France twice a year to attend the Television and Documentary Market and festival.  As you might expect I loved the time in Provence and this little video prompted memories.  It's a unique look at Cannes.  Enjoy.

I MADONNARI STREET PAINTING

AN ITALIAN FEAST

FOR THE EYES

      The chalk "street painters" were back in San Luis Obispo
for the annual IMadonnari and again they provided an incredible show. 

There were areas for amateurs, students and local

artists.  It's fascinating to see the work at various stages of completion.

The event adds a festive spirit to the San Luis Obispo

Mission Plaza.

 Not all of the "painting" was on the street.

It is a great Central California weekend, and this year it was a positive, life affirming event.
