by Gregg Chadwick If this was the way the world ended on 12 21 12, those of us gathered at UCLA's Royce Hall for the second night of Rufus and Martha Wainwright's Christmas 101   were being ushered into eternity with heavenly voices.  Rufus and Martha Wainwright, the son and daughter of   Loudon Wainwright III and  Kate McGarrigle - who passed away in 2010 from a rare sarcoma cancer, both possess extraordinary voices and mesmerizing stage presence. Their combined talents bolstered by musical kin and comrades, including Emmylou Harris, folk singer Maria Muldaur's daughter Jenni Muldaur, the legendary Van Dyke Parks, former Eels drummer Butch Norton, Sloan Wainwright, Lucy Wainwright Roche, Carrie Fisher, Rufus' husband Jorn Weisbrodt, and more , brought holiday cheer and at times poignant retrospection to last night's concert. Christmas 101 continues   a concert tradition begun in 2005 by Kate McGarrigle and her sister Anna. As well as be...

by Gregg Chadwick I am often asked by fellow artists and gallerists about shipping art locally and internationally. As of today due to UPS' gross negligence in a guaranteed, i.e. expensive,  delivery, I will no longer use their services and I recommend that others shift their services elsewhere.  I am heartbroken that my donation will most likely not be at   The 9th Annual Oak Grove Golf Classic 2011  & SO-CAL Chef Open   to benefit the Oak Grove Center for Education, Treatment and the Arts.  When a company no longer guarantees their guarantee the little guy loses out.  We need to stand together. #OccupyUPS anyone? Please read the  Open Letter to UPS CEO Scott Davis: Dear Scott Davis, On November 11, 2011 while you were chatting on the radio how UPS works on a day when the USPS is closed, I found that because of a shortage of UPS workers my Guaranteed package was not delivered as promised to the Oak Grove Center for Educati...

Gregg Chadwick The Color of Wind (Whispers of the Rail, The Petaled Road, Spring Departure) 30"x72" oil on linen 2011 (triptych) "In the cherry blossom's shade there's no such thing as a stranger." by Kobayashi Issa (1763 - 1828) "In Japanese Zen poetry, spring blossoms, particularly cherry blossoms, are often used as symbols for the simple, natural, unfolding springtime of enlightenment. In the "shade" or, you might say, beneath the canopy of enlightenment, there is no longer any sense of separation. Nothing and no one is foreign to you. There is no such thing as a stranger." - Ivan M. Granger I am always honored to support Habitat for Humanity with my art. My donation this year reflects my interests in Japan and Japanese culture with my triptych The Color of Wind .

On Saturday, March 26, 2011 the Torrance Art Museum held a fundraiser for the Japanese Red Cross to help with the humanitarian needs of post-tsunami Japan. I donated my painting Illume for the cause. This oil painting of a young Buddhist monk, seemingly caught in the glow of prayer candles, resonates hope in mourning, acceptance and rebirth. Gregg Chadwick Illume 16"x20" oil on linen 2011 Ongoing until April 30, 2011 at the Torrance Museum of Art is the exhibition Gateway Japan curated by Yuko Wakaume, Ei Kibukawa, and Max Presneill.
