I am in awe of what these two students create with chalk, an idea, and their amazing talent.  I think that was one of the greatest treasures of taking art courses I gained a deeper understanding of those things that already awed me.  I remember as a child looking out my window on a cold winter's morning with dew drops sparkling in the morning sun with thousands of tiny rainbows draped on the spider webs.  I was enthralled and astounded and within minutes it vanished.  So brief.  The architects hundreds of little spiders and a cold dewy morning.  Butterflies flit for a week or two then vanish until the following year. 


Sand is washed a way twice daily with the tides but this doesn't stop the artist....

Snow melts but until then pristine white is magically transformed...

I remember an Easter morning at my daughters church as an artist created the story of Christ as the minister spoke. Each picture formed from the last, led to the next, tranforming and changing.  I was enthralled but had no camera to record the magical event.  Now like the jeweled web the play only in my mind, temporary beauty.  It doesn't has to last to be enjoyed.
