This Saturday - FREE Workshop with Gregg Chadwick - June 28, 11 AM - 2 PM

Exploring the Garden of Earthly Delights will introduce the practice of drawing and painting in Santa Monica’s hidden green spaces. Soon to be a Great Park, the asphalt and concrete of the Santa Monica Airport will in the not-too-distant future give way to green fields, flowers, and foliage. Even now, magical places exist at the airport where nature expresses itself alongside hangars and workspaces.   During the workshop, we will venture into the garden area behind the City of Santa Monica Airport Arts Center Studios and engage with the natural forms that fill the space. In this urban oasis of lush green foliage and blooming flowers, workshop participants can draw or paint living botanicals on the spot, or draw or paint portraits of two costumed models. We will step out of our homes and workspaces, and bathed in Southern California light, will be inspired by the works of Hieronymus Bosch, Frida Kahlo, and John Singer Sargent.   We will respond to this intimate garden by making...

“Steps of Time” - New Home in Enns, Austria

Image
  My Buddhist inspired artwork “Steps of Time” begins its journey today to a new home in Enns, Austria. Enns is a picturesque city along the Danube in Upper Austria. Enns began as the Roman outpost Lauriacum and became Austria’s first chartered town in 1212. Currently Enns is part of the Cittàslow network, which promotes a slower pace of life and a focus on quality of life. In our spinning world, there is a parallel universe that asks us to pause, to appreciate, and to reconnect. The monk in “Steps of Time” evokes the passage of time and the accumulated wisdom inherent in a spiritual journey. Thank you  @singulartofficial  for arranging the sale! #peace #hope #beauty #Austria #art #contemporaryart #travel #buddhism
