David Smith tagged you in a post.       David Smith December 11 at 10:18am   SO the second episode of Individual Artists of Oklahoma's podcast is up on the interwebs! In this episode we sit down with the amazing Paul Medina to talk about his varied and amazing career! It was a great honor to get to sit down with him and talk about his history, his future, gallery work, his two novels (available on Amazon)... we talked about so much and barely touched the surface of who he is and the lasting force he has become in Oklahoma's artist community! On a personal note, Paul is an inspirational figure in my life in many ways! He was one of the first people to show me that my poems were worth sharing and provided one of the earliest stages for me to do so!   He's also a go-to for me when it comes to trying to find a voice for my visual art. I'll stop being all fan-boy now and just post the link... http://individualartists.org/what-we-do/iao-show/

BOOK REVIEW of Enchanted Circles

Medina's background as an artist truly shines through in this enchanting tale. Medina continually describes the setting in a very beautiful, visual manner which encouraged me to put the book down periodically and let my imagination conjure up the images he described. His writing also conveys many sensory experiences -- we can imagine the sights, sounds, textures and aromas of each scene.

This book is also wonderful for children of many ages, as the story is extremely family friendly. The tale centers around 12-year-old Zak, who possesses impeccable manners and concern for everyone around him, and is truly a model of good virtues such as patience, respect for elders, and compassion. At the same time, Zak is a character to which many children (and adults!) can relate. He struggles somewhat with feelings of self-worth due to an emotionally distant father, but he faces this particular demon (and many others), to find that he can grow tremendously through persistence and the support of close family and friends.

This is a refreshingly beautiful must-read book!
