Last night I forced Trevor away from his books to go on a date to see the Chalk the Block that was going on here in Provo. Trevor had never been to anything like this before, so I assured him he would be impressed.
Way back in the day I auditioned by entering in some of my own artwork to be a part of a team from my school to go chalk at my local arts center. I was picked for the team and the experience was so much fun! So I knew just how much fun and cool going to see them would be. Trevor wasn't convinced at first but finally admitted it was cooler then he thought it would be :)
This one was Trevor's favorite. People were going and standing on the bridge. I kept telling him to go stand on it for a picture but he refused haha.
Growing up Trevor loved Calvin and Hobbs, so of course this pictures was needed :)
The Girl with the Pearl Earring is one of my favorite paintings and books. So I was so excited to see this! It tied with my top favorite of the night :) I mean look at that?! Beautiful.
This was by far the most impressive of the night. I wish the pictures would do it justice. The asfault made it look like it was on the walls of some old church in Europe. It seriously brought me back to Europe looking at it. Trevor and I couldn't stop staring at it. It was breathtaking!
I made Trevor stand by the guitar for a picture :) haha
Walking around in perfect fall weather, surrounded by good food, twinkle lights, live music & art...
it all came together to make a great little date night :)

ReplyDeleteHow cool!! Is he at BYU Law then? That's a great school! I'm so mad my husband didn't even apply there. He got his undergrad there and didn't wanna go to the same school for law school. It's better ranked and cheaper than Pepperdine though! Haha!
ReplyDeleteHow neat! The art is incredible!!
ReplyDeleteOMG this is like the stuff you see in email forwards...it is unreal! So cool!! And random, I saw the sign for Kneaders and Jon and I just vacationed in SLC/PC and ate their...I still dream about that french toast!
ReplyDeleteYou got to see them when they were all done! My husband and I went while they were still in process... It was fun to watch the artists create their masterpieces! We spent our Saturday there and had a blast!

they are amazing! i had no idea you could do that with chalk. the people who did them must be crazy talented.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. These are incredible. Blown away that they are chalk!
ReplyDeleteAs I was going through these I realized that the Girl with the Pearl Earing was the one that my Step Sisters drew! Small World. I haven't been down to see it....just pictures of them as they were finishing it up. Finished product turned out great.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun night. I'm sure the weather was amazing and those twinkling light?! So romantic! I love how you have to make him go stand by something for a picture! I have to do the same thing and Bryce will stand there and pout! haha
ReplyDeleteThere are so many cool things that happen in your area! I don't think I ever realized before just how cool Provo is =). Looks like a fantastic time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN date night! I love it, wish we had something like that where I live!
ReplyDeleteThe drawings are amazing. Very very beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWe went to this on Friday night and had some delicious dinner at Bajio. I wanted to go back on Saturday since a lot of the artists were just starting when we were there on Friday night. However I am glad you took good pictures because now i can see a lot of them finished. I was amazing by their talent. I don't posses that kind of talent. ha
ReplyDeleteWow..that is so neat. What an original idea:) Looks like you had a great night and I totally concur about snapping yourself in a photo with a huge slr...Hard indeed..haha
ReplyDeleteHow great is that? Seriously such a cool post! Do you ever want to guest blog over at my blog (fridaywereinlove)? I'd love to have you! If so please email me at fridaywereinlove.blogspot.com!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I agree about trying to take self portraits with the dslr. Those strands of light are just so pretty, and what a fun thing to get to go to a chalk drawing party! wonderful
ReplyDeleteThose chalk pictures are gorgeous! So detailed!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bridge one too. It looks so realistic. Looks like you guys had so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Provo did this -- it must be new! And yes, that art deco one was awesome! (Not that the others weren't ... )
ReplyDeleteWow! How romantic and how beautiful. Those chalk drawings are AMAZING!!!
