Alex Beam's Article On The Importance of Imagination

Posting this very good article written by Alex Beam in The Boston Globe yesterday. His article deals with Bill Watterson's well known comic strips and the importance of imagination and childhood. I strongly suggest you read this article because it has a bearing on all creatives and the importance to continue our dreams.

Halloween A Time to Celebrate

Halloween is fast approaching and time to create an image for this special day.  I love this day when imaginative costumes float about. Enjoy watching horror films and munch on some

of my favorite candies. Enjoy yourself and put on that special costume and celebrate.

John Singer Sargent at the MFA

 

The Fenway Cultural Alliance celebrates Columbus Day in Boston with a free day of arts, cultural and educational events. Once again, I headed to the Museum of Fine Arts to visit the special exhibit "John Singer Sargent Watercolors." This exhibit is in collaboration with the Brooklyn Museum. John Singer Sargent is one of my favorite artist. I had the pleasure of viewing his work at the the MFA about fifteen years ago.  His watercolors are simply amazing. He is a master juggling watercolors, wax crayon, opaque watercolor, knife scrapping and anything else to achieve his colorful vision. I took several pictures to study his technique and use some of these pictures for this blog article. I encourage you to view several videos on display at the museum by visiting this link:  Video Links
