On our blog page you can subscribe to and follow Kev's blog - 'The Restless Artist' - where he shares his reflections on the arts from nearly 40 years of training and experience in the arts and with what he is interacting now. This includes what Kev is reading, researching, watching, interactions with people and other experiences. Posts are written with the objective of not taking more than 1-2 minutes to read.
"beautiful"
Kev writes, "I read the following words by Janice Elsheimer in her book The Creative Call: 'Our gifts are not from God to us, but from God through us to the world. When we fail to use these gifts, we suffer the same way a person accustomed to regular physical activity may feel pent up, out of sorts, and off-balance after going for several days without exercise. When we try to live without exercising our artistic gifts we may feel RESTLESS [emphasis Kev's] and empty. Life lacks fullness. Something buried deep within longs to emerge.'
