Last year while painting in the Houston Via Colori Festival I was asked to be the featured artist in Scottsdale, Arizona's new Via Colori event. Wonderful! Before the event I drove out to give two Street Painting workshops to participating artists; one last spring and one this fall. The artists were great! This last weekend I was flown out for the event. Despite 97 degree temps and 120 degrees on hot asphalt, the festival was a huge success. Thousands of people came out to see the work of 100 artists.
The painting I designed was called Leda and the Swan. In the Greek myth, Zues seduces Leda disguised as a swan. Leda later gives birth to Helen.
