Evening Of Wonders

Artist Post: Amber Alvarez

Last week's words of wisdom from a talented and loving dad have probably been heard many times by his talented and lovely daughter...

"I thought this was going to be a drawing of a mouse, but once I got going this bunny started jumping up and down in the corner of my brain like, "Draw me! Draw me! I can do it!" I figure what do I know? So I made this bunny instead. After all, if your butt had a perma-poof stapled to it, wouldn't you use it as a cushion to boost you closer to dreams and wishes?"

This week we look back at the humble [re]beginning of one of Provo Studio's finest:

"Nothing says hope to an artist more than blank canvas and a very large studio wall to fill. Cheers."

"Speak not of the parts undone... for it is in this unfinished mess that often sparks and unravels that needed bit of creativity and electricity.... these moments are special and dear to the artist that is stacking his delicate sticks that make his house a home. And his heart a poem."

Artist Post: Haily Mishelle

I've had this deep, longing, yearning, hunger to create. Painting and I ended up on a really bad note last time. (Clearly demons don't want you to create.) *cue tons of fears and doubts about failing* But hey, failing is cool. Failing just points you in the direction of lessons you can learn. Goodness. Painting... painting just feels right... Neglecting art is neglecting my spirit. I was insanely rebuked today because of my neglect. The rebuke was followed by the greatest pep talk I've ever received. God works through other people. Always. And man, God is good.
