LOS ANGELES Camisola Cedric Portugal , June 15 (Xinhua) -- To those over 600 artists, nothing is more exciting than painting on the cement ground of the whole street block with chalk: they are creating their art pieces under foot with imagination and creativity.


More than 600 chalk artists from all over the country came to Pasadena, a city in California where the famous annual New Year Rose Parade takes place, to spend the weekend creating artworks in every imaginable style in the tradition of the Italian "madonnari" street painters.


This year's highlights include "Animation Alley," featuring animators and graphic designers; the new "Chalk of Fame," showcasing chalk versions of famous movie posters at the ArcLight movie theater; and a mural of Pasadena's hometown baseball legend Jackie Robinson by Tom Matousek, a local artist.


Chalk paintings won't last, and after the two-day festival, they will disappear. But chalk artists do not care. Two days are enough to show their talent and imagination.


In 2010, the chalk painting event in Pasadena was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest public art event of its kind, and this year it is 10 percent larger, according to the event organizer.


Also, the appeal of watching the chalk art taking shape on concrete crosses all boundaries of age and levels of sophistication. Last year, about 100,000 visitors attended the two-day event, and this year, more visitors are expected.


William Zin, who graduated from the California State University, Long Beach with an art degree, was working hard on his chalk painting "Going to the West" Saturday morning.


Zin said this is his fifth year here, adding that as an immigrant from China, he wants to show Americans the rich Chinese culture with his chalk.


"Visitors would always come to me and ask me what the painting tells, and I would tell them the story I learned when I was a child," Zin said.


Zin said the first year he was here, he painted a tiger; the second year, he painted Guan Yu, a Chinese ancient general in the period of the Three Kingdoms; the third time, he painted figures of Terracotta from the Qin Dynasty; last year, he presented figures of Beijing Opera.


"They are all images from China, and I am glad those images and figures are welcomed here," Zin said.


Although Zin has a degree in art, he is now working in an import and export company because he has to make a living first. "But art is still my hobby," Zin said.


Charles Chavez is a professional artist specialized in customized murals drawing or painting. He was working on his "Tea Party" painting Saturday morning.


The idea of "Tea Party" comes from Disneyland, Chavez told Xinhua. He said he loves painting on the wall or on the street. He has painted murals for local schools and businesses for many years.


Chaves said he has been here for 10 years. "I know the chalk paintings won't last long, but I love to show visitors the process of creating an art piece on the street cement ground," Chavez said.


Peggy Jordon and her daughter Tiffany Jordon are both chalk-painting lovers. They have been going to the annual event for the eighth year. This year, they were creating an art piece of "Do You".


"'Do You' means 'be yourself', do not let others distract you," Peggy Jordon explained.


As the mother and daughter were painting on the ground, a photographer approached them with a photo he took last year, which shows them painting a dog on the ground.


The photographer promised to email them a copy, which made them happy as they would be recorded and remembered even though the chalk-painted images will go.


Street painting is a tradition that dates back to 16th century in Italy and has become the main source of income for many traveling artists after the World War II.


That renewed burst of visibility has resulted in the creation of festivals across North and South America and Europe.

Frequent arguments cause a lot of damage to a relationship. In each relationship, there is a baseline. This baseline is where the couple wants to be. Everything is good and they feel close to each other. When they have an argument, they drop below the baseline and thus need to return to the baseline so that they can feel close again. But suppose they get into another argument before they return to the baseline; this pushes them even further below the baseline. They now have even more ground to cover before they can return to the baseline. If another argument occurs, they push themselves even further below. This can go on and on until the baseline seem unreachable. The couple tries everything they know but get nowhere. Doubt takes over and logic tells them that the relationship is irretrievable.

Abandon the notion that you need to address and resolve major issues when you are far below the baseline. It is futile to attempt resolution when all you can see is despair. You need to take a time-out from the issues and focus more on staying connected. This usually comes down to shutting up for the time being. The process of pushing the major issues towards resolution is typically what therapists do and the couple also believes this is necessary but it is not.

The therapist often allows the couple to recreate an argument that they may have had a hundred times already. By viewing the couple in action, the therapist gets an understanding of what happens between them. The couple leaves the office wishing they had come in separate cars but come back week after week hoping the therapist will eventually tell them how to reconnect.

I do not allow couples to fight in my office. I tell them they can fight at home free. Instead, the focus is on returning to the baseline. I tell the couple to stay away from the major issues that trigger the arguments for now. I often tell them not to argue at all and the following week they repo.
