Street Art,

using a power washer!


 Dianna Wood, a retired office worker from Burlington, North Carolina, had been wanting her own power washer ever since she used one to help one of her friend’s mother to get her hose ready for sale,

 She loved it so much that when her birthday came around, her husband knew exactly what to get her as a present,

 the self-taught artist started by writing different words, like ‘love’, ‘peace’ and ‘joy’, in various fonts, and the experiment turned out so good that when she was finished with the upper driveway, she decided to try even more complex stuff on the rest,

 many of the people who saw her works were convinced that she used stencils to create her driveway artworks, but she claims she did it all freehand,

 “I raise and lower the tip and turn the angle of it (like you would a fan paintbrush or a calligraphy pen or a can of spray paint), in order to achieve different gradations of clean,” Dianna told Business Insider,

 “I have done crazy art things since I was probably 5 years old, no professional art training, though,” Dianna Wood told Bored Panda. Although I am still learning techniques and am not completely satisfied with the results, I guess one could say, ‘This is just what might happen when a husband gets an artist a power washer for her birthday!'”
