Chalk, chalk, chalk! An ocean of chalk stretching as far as the eye can see. This year's 26th Anniversary of the iMadonnari Italian Street Painting Festival was a colorful treat for the senses. Art lovers arrived in Santa Barbara from all walks of life to watch the temporary masterpieces take form during this four day event. Featured artist and beloved teacher at Laguna Blanca School, Delphine Louie, did not disappoint with her religious themed painting stunningly crafted on the steps of historic Santa Barbara Mission. Art festival masterpieces will be on display until rains wash away all trace of this chalk exhibit. Proceeds benefit the nonprofit "Children's Creative Project" which has provided quality art experiences for school children since 1974.
