This artwork by Maren Lawrence symbolizes the rains chalk artists went through this year for the Bountiful Chalk Art Festival. “The rain brought out the best in everyone,” David Joy, Executive Director of the Joy Foundation, the organizer of the festival said. “The level of persistence and determination was amazing. Some artists even had to start over again. One artist even redrew his rained-out painting from a photo of him brushing away the ruined painting.”
