senseless act of beauty: painting sidewalks

The art of Australian artist, Poppy Van Oord-Grainger, who spends her time painting,
teeny, tiny, beautiful works of art on sidewalks.
The older woman whose home this is, came out to find Van Oord-Grainger's work and was so touched she exclaimed, 'you are so clever. like Michael de Vinci'. 3 days later, she had her son dig up the slab of concrete to keep. She thanked the artist by giving her a gift of fresh eggs and 'cough lollies'

Holy cow! That's talent and, far as I can tell, European. Why? Because I remember being in Europe and seeing artists draw on sidewalks - the most beautiful works. They don't do that here in small town, small state, USA. Here they litter instead. Sad, but true.
