[<\/strong>Click HERE for all the photos<\/a><\/strong>] <\/strong>Today around noon the “big winter storm” that had been forecasted began loading up some clouds off shore with close to six water spouts. The clouds moved on shore just in time for Carlsbad’s Art Splash<\/strong> on Armada Drive behind the Flower Fields. Though it rained for about 20 minutes, it was not enough to slow any of the dedicated chalk artists .<\/p>\n

We lost a little in the rain, but it wasn’t bad, ” said Eugenia Bizzaro<\/a><\/strong> as she and her husband Blane<\/strong> worked under the bright sunlight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"As<\/a>She and Blane (Bizzaro Creations<\/a><\/strong>) are artists who take this transitory art form very seriously.<\/p>\n

“This is a true art form pasted on from generation to generation,” Virginia said. “It’s great for the kids to watch and learn because the way school art programs keep getting cut back these days kids rarely get to see artists at work. That’s why we are here. We want to encourage kids to be more interested in art.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Several thousand people enjoyed the first day of the two day event. While there wasn’t that much chalk art to see today, there were booths showing art of all mediums and style. For the completed chalk art be sure to check it out tomorrow.<\/p>\n
