When an artlover visiting your booth is wearing the same skirt and bag as the figure in your gouache on paper painting, it is necessary to celebrate the moment! Thanks to my hard working, ebullient niece  @bavlnkabrand  who assisted me this week and at many other editions of  @theotherartfair , we were able to embrace this and so many other moments of joy and wonder at Barker Hangar.

  Erika at The Other Art Fair Los Angeles with a Drawing of Herself by Artist Gregg Chadwick Last night Erika  @_msmuse  had as her friend  @shadia_elise  described "a moment of unexpected self reflection" as she held in her hands a drawing that she had posed for in a figure drawing session in my studio building -  @studios_3026  Each Wednesday we gather as a group of artists and seekers and create observational drawings from morning to night. A number of framed drawings from these sessions are available at special TOAF prices during the fair. Heartfelt thanks to the number of new collectors who have purchased a drawing or two and to all the models that have worked so hard to help us create lasting art. Special deep thanks to Erika who is an exceptional person and a skilled and inspirational artist's model. And thank you  @shadia_elise  for the thoughts, conversation, and photo of Erika gazing at her drawn image! And so grateful to  @msu...

Visitors to the Prado embraced the idea of taking a sustained look at a work of art, and shared their own insights into Velázquez’s masterpiece during the reporter’s immersive attention experiment. Credit-Carlos Chavarria for The New York Times The Three-Hour Challenge: 180 Minutes with ‘Las Meninas’ For years, a professor has assigned her students to spend three hours with an artwork. A reporter tried this “immersive attention” experiment with a Velázquez (gift article) https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/arts/design/art-velazquez-immersive-attention.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pE8.ChFO.AoMj1pTyWpxs&smid=tw-share

  Happy Birthday Bruce Springsteen! This fellow Jersey Boy wishes you a grand 76th year! In honor of the 50 year anniversary of the Born to Run album, I playfully painted my inspired vision of that amazing LP as a sort of Meeting Across the River still life.

Gregg Chadwick Moving Colors 12"x12" oil on Legion Oil paper 2025  My oil on Legion Oil paper painting "Moving Colors" was inspired by the uplifting Pride Month events that I have taken part in along with my trans family members and queer friends. "Moving Colors" describes the colors of the LGBTQ community (as represented by the flags) and the idea of moving forward in a societal sense, advocating for change and progress. "Moving Colors"speaks to a moment in time that is both fleeting and part of a larger, ongoing movement that continually fights for equality for all. Hope, Love, Progress.

Gregg Chadwick Tsavo East (The Water Carrier's Dream 22"x28" oil on linen 2025 Private Collection, Richmond, Virginia   Thrilled that my oil on linen painting "Tsavo East (The Water Carrier's Dream)" is venturing to its new home in Richmond, Virginia. The artwork is part of an ongoing, globally inspired series of paintings that considers our place as humans in the larger natural world. The elephant is both a symbol of resilient strength and also, because of the ivory trade, has become a symbol of the possible extinction of numerous animal species. My paintings of elephants are a call to action. They are elegies for what has been lost, celebrations of the profound beauty that remains, and urgent reminders of our shared responsibility to protect the planet's most vulnerable inhabitants. Water as well is a symbol of life. The bucket the woman carries is part of an effort to make clean water safer and more accessible from local, community owned water facilit...

  Gregg Chadwick Luminists 24"x18" oil on Legion Oil paper 2025 My oil painting "Luminists" was inspired by a moment pulled from a visit to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. A couple visiting the museum appeared to be wrapped in the colors of the vibrant artworks on the walls - a jewel-toned moment of connection. Their palpable joy expanded into the museum galleries. The quiet magic that unfolds between two people. Art and life intertwined. "Luminists" serves as a daily reminder of the beauty of shared experiences.
