The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

retold by mike r. baker

I've been doing a lot of these. I'm aiming to do at least 21. You can see them on my bog.

Mother's Kiss

Okay. Here's a pastel drawing. I did this at the Belmont Shore Sidewalk Chalk Art event two weeks ago. I didn't win but I placed (fifth out of over 70 artists). It was a blast! I'll be doing it again next year. -- My first idea was a more traditional mother and child but I realized I was playing to the judges rather than being true to my style. I think I did better by doing something from my heart then from my head. This piece is on paper (for some reason they won't let us draw directly on the sidewalk) so I still have it. It's a little over 3 feet by 4 feet. Also, I was on the front page of the local newspaper doing this drawing with my daughter in the forground. That was fun too!
