Video of pics taken yesterday at the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival 2016

The Festival continues today until 7:00! Visit Lake Worth and our charming, quirky downtown and check out all the art before the streets open once again to traffic. I'll be volunteering on the shuttle bus again today (from 2:00–4:00) bringing people to the festival from the Tri-Rail station.

Liz Balmaseda had a few words in The Palm Beach Post about the festival yesterday and the article is also in the print edition (B1, above the fold) today; here's an excerpt.

     Saturday proved a perfect day for the festival, which continues Sunday. Sunlight cascaded over the scene. One could pick up the faint aroma of suntan lotion in the crowd and hear snippets of songs performed.
     Most who passed the corner of Lake Avenue and L Street had to stop to admire a stunning portrait of a red-lipped woman who seemed to emerge from the pavement with a swath of red over her eyes. Bringing her to life was Atlanta artist Jessi Queen.
     Once the weekend is over, she will return to her day job in web design.
     “This is ephemeral, but it’s performance art. It’s meant to be shared,” said Queen. “I love to see people’s reactions to my work.”

Sunday is always the best attended day at the Festival and if yesterday's attendance was any clue today will be a banner day for the City. Hope to see you there, Wes.
