Finished 'Waterfall with Birds', (2009) 3-D Illusionary street painting by Rod Tryon and Anthony Cappetto. Original design by Rod Tryon.
The Bond Street Promenade event in Great Neck Village, NY, was a lot of fun for street painting artists Rod Tryon and Anthony Cappetto. The morning included a workshop for kids from a local summer program, where the kids had a great time drawing on the street with chalk. Rod and Anthony worked on their street painting (above) for the rest of the day and got great reactions and compliments from the people of Great Neck Village!

The attention to detail is important in the creation of the 3-D street painting art process; so Rod uses a reference photo for the seagull.
