I had to work Sunday. Sometimes th new job requires that. But it was enjoyable work. We hosted a community art project in the park across the street from the Museum where I work. The event was called Sunday in the Park with George. We loosely based the idea on the musical of the same name. We started with an illustration that I did of Marilyn (for the Andy Warhol aspect) and had everyone paint it in a pointillist style (for Georges Seurat). We also let people do oil pastels mini portraits that they could take home or add to our collage. The kids were great and had loads of fun. It's amazing to see everyone's different portraits. It was hot but we sure did have fun.
So, where does "run" come into play? Well, look closely at the painting. There's plenty of running going on there.

Yeah! That looks like a hell of a lot of fun!
I think it was wonderful to let children get involved with your project. That is a terrific picture of Marilyn. Extremely colorful and everything blends perfectly.
