CHALK ON SIDEWALK
Somewhere in the ByWard Market in downtown Ottawa, I happened on a very talented young artist painting this beautiful face in chalk on the cement.
I thought it was the most gorgeous piece of sidewalk chalk art I have ever seen.
Art doesn’t get more ephemeral than this!
Here’s the artist, François Pelletier

In the “Canal Zone” in Ottawa, I lucked into this fabulous work of art.
It begins at the bottom of stairs.
The official title is “ESCAPADES D’ÉTÉ
As you climb you see it is painted only on the riser of the steps
There are 2 sets of stairs.
When you get to the top you find 3 more beach images painted on the ground. I’ll have to post those in a day or 2, but it will be my next post.
Here, my most beautiful Assistant Designer lounges on a beach blanket.
