Roy L Hales / Cortes Currents - At the Old Schoolhouse Art Gallery: Meinsje's Uncanny Puppets and Sublime Paintings The “Uncanny and the Sublime” exhibition opens at the Old Schoolhouse Art Gallery at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, June 19, and runs until July 5. In this morning's interview, exhibiting artist Meinsje Vlaming discusses her puppets and paintings. Meinsje: "I've been involved with the Academy of the Wooden Puppets. That's a two-year education online by Bernd Ogrodnik, a German teacher, master puppeteer, and carver who lives now in Iceland. That's one of the good things that happened with COVID: we have a lot of things online now, and we don't have to go there. “Bernd put together a program on carving puppets—from the beginning, very simple puppets, to a very, very complicated marionette. Of course, being a puppeteer, that had my interest. So I enrolled.” “Well, actually, I first applied for a grant. I got it, I enrolled, and I started carving. I got all these puppets that are not really related, and I haven't put them in a puppet show, but it would be nice to hang them on the walls in a gallery and display them.” “So we thought about that, and then it's like, well, I don't have enough to fill the gallery. And then I also enrolled with a wonderful painter teacher, Michael Orwick, whose style is really resonating with my own style—my own work. So I thought, ‘Why don't I put those two together?' - But how do you connect the wooden puppets with the paintings that are about light?" “If you look through my work, it's very diverse—there's a lot of different styles and trying out styles. But the thing they all have in common is the light. So I took two elements from two different disciplines and tried to connect them. What they have in common is painting and puppets—then I started to dive a little deeper into what they have in common, which is the sublime in the paintings.” “The Romantics, the Tonalists, the Luminists—they've all used that. I personally think light is the most sublime thing on this planet. It's in paintings, and it's connected to the spiritual.” “That's how I came to decide: ‘Let's put puppets and the paintings together into the show.' And that works—I think, I hope.”

Leafstar follows through on her decision despite several interruptions. It helps that her deputy approves - even if no one else (alive) does. Book: Super Edition: SkyClan's DestinySupport us on Ko-fi! WCWITCast Ko-fiFollow us on BlueSky! WCWITCastFollow us on Instagram!

Did you know that in addition to saving the free world, Churchill was also an accomplished painter? In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas sits down with Dr. Lucy Davis — curator of paintings at the Wallace Collection in London and co-curator of Winston Churchill the Painter, the first major retrospective of Churchill's art in over 60 years and the first substantial UK exhibition devoted to his paintings since his death in 1965. The exhibition brings together nearly 60 works, roughly half from private collections rarely accessible to the public, and traces the full arc of Churchill's artistic life: from the tentative canvases he made during the darkest moment of his World War I career, through the luminous Mediterranean harbors and Moroccan cityscapes of his mature period, to the bold late works of a man who found in painting one of the greatest solaces of his life. Lucy walks Jonathan through the story of how Churchill came to paint, the three major artists who shaped his style — John Lavery, Walter Sickert, and William Nicholson — the single painting he made during World War II, the extraordinary Hallmark Cards world tour, and why the Wallace Collection is the perfect home for this once-in-a-lifetime show. The exhibition runs until November 29, 2026. Book your tickets now. Lucy is very grateful to her colleagues at Hallmark Cards, Inc. for their research into the World Tour of Churchill's paintings, which she has referenced in this podcast.

This is a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Churchill took up painting in 1915 at the lowest point of his life, following the catastrophic failure of the Dardanelles campaign. His wife Clementine later said she thought he would die of grief — and it was painting that gave him back his spark. Churchill was never formally trained, but worked closely with at least three leading professional artists: John Lavery (portraiture and plein air painting), Walter Sickert (modernist techniques and working from photographs), and William Nicholson (still life, tonal restraint, and simplified composition). Churchill's single painting during World War II was a view of Marrakesh, painted the day after he took President Roosevelt to see the sunset over the Atlas Mountains following the Casablanca Conference. He gave it to Roosevelt as a gift — it is in the exhibition, facing the painting he later gave to President Eisenhower. The Wallace Collection's connection to Churchill runs deeper than the exhibition: Odette Pol Roger was born Odette Wallace as great-granddaughter of Sir Richard Wallace, became Churchill's close friend, and reserved an entire vintage of Pol Roger champagne for him. A quarter-bottle believed to be one of the last he drank before his death in 1965 is on display in the exhibition. Churchill's paintings were the subject of a record-breaking world tour of North America, Australia, and New Zealand in 1958, masterminded by President Eisenhower and Joyce C. Hall, founder of Hallmark Cards. Churchill initially refused — until Eisenhower wrote him a personal letter about the wave of goodwill it would create. Churchill submitted paintings to competitions under the pseudonym "David Winter" and was given the title of Honorary Academician Extraordinary by the Royal Academy — only the second person ever to receive this honor, after Edward VII. The goldfish pool at Chartwell — Lucy's personal favorite painting in the exhibition — contains a detail invisible in photography: the ripple created by the fish on the surface, painted in a subtle mauve-grey. Lucy says it perfectly summarizes Churchill's playful, witty personality. Picasso, upon seeing Churchill's painting La Dragonnière, said (paraphrasing) that Churchill would have been a good professional painter if he hadn't had something else to do. The painting is in the exhibition. The new edition of Churchill's own book Painting as a Pastime — with an introduction by Paul Rafferty — has just been published and is the perfect companion to the exhibition. It explains in Churchill's own words why he took up painting and why everyone else should too. Soundbites "Clementine was looking on and she was so relieved to see him engaged in something. He talked about all this unwanted leisure — going from a really high-pressured executive job to suddenly watching the whole tragedy unfold. To see that spark lit up again." — Lucy on Clementine's reaction when Churchill first picked up a paintbrush. "He said painting was a complete distraction. He said: I know nothing which without exhausting the body more entirely absorbs the mind." — Lucy quoting Churchill on why painting worked when nothing else could. "He's painting the headquarters of the battalion as it was progressively being shelled and devastated. One of his young soldiers said he was unusually quiet and withdrawn and asked what was wrong — and he said: I've been really struggling to paint the craters." — Lucy on Churchill painting in the trenches at Plug Street. "He said it should be a joy ride in a paint box. Nobody should feel afraid or daunted by it. We don't have to aspire to masterpieces." — Lucy on Churchill's message to anyone who wants to paint. "A traveling exhibition of your paintings in the United States would not only attract a great deal of attention, but I am certain it would serve in a very definite way to strengthen the friendship between our two countries." — Lucy quoting Eisenhower's letter persuading Churchill to allow the world tour. "He submitted a painting in 1925 to an amateur painting competition and won first prize — although one of the judges wanted to disqualify it because he thought it must be by a professional painter." — Lucy on Churchill exhibiting anonymously under the pseudonym David Winter. "Picasso said — and I'm paraphrasing — that he would have been a good professional painter if he didn't have something else to do." — Lucy on Picasso's verdict on Churchill's painting La Dragonnière. "There's a particular detail that doesn't come out in photography — the ripple created by the fish on the surface that he's painted in this sort of mauve-grey color. It's just such a lovely finishing touch and really summarizes that playful, witty side of his personality." — Lucy on her favorite painting in the exhibition, the goldfish pool at Chartwell. "He made the gardener row back and forth across the moat to create ripples so he could try a different effect in the water." — Lucy on Churchill's obsessive dedication to capturing reflections accurately. "I think he would like to see us leaving the exhibition with smiles on our faces and with an urge to pick up a paintbrush." — Lucy on what Churchill himself would have wanted visitors to take away.

This is the kind of podcast I enjoy making the most. It's one of those in the perfect location that's just off the cuff. You see, I went to artist Shonto Begay's studio in Flagstaff. We were picking up some paintings, and it was just a great opportunity to spend some time with him talking about his work, his studio, and things that affect his life. It was actually a very moving interview, and I think you'll feel the same. Artist studios are sacred places. Shonto's studio is no different and in some ways even more sacred than usual. He shared a couple of extremely personal pieces that are in his studio. Paintings that not only show how he sees the world, but how he views the healing process. So it's a great video to watch. I know it's a podcast, but if you have the chance, watch it on YouTube. Not only is it a treat to be teleported inside an important artist's studio, but it's so real and in the moment.At one point he even goes, "oh no, I gotta go put some money in the meter!" We just run down to the street to put money in the parking meter while we were filming because that's what he has to do every day where his studio is. He had been at the studio all day getting his paintings ready for me. I felt so bad I was even prepared to pay his parking ticket. So this is a very interesting and beautiful podcast with Shonto Begay.

Originality is overrated — at least at first. In this episode, Jake breaks down the lesson that changed how he thinks about both his art and his business: everything has a structure, and the fastest path to creative success is learning it, duplicating it, and then making it yours.It sounds like creative heresy. But Jake's latest revelation might be the most practical thing he's ever said on this podcast: stop trying to be original before you understand the structure.In this episode of Move Faster, Jake shares a conversation with a fellow filmmaker that clicked something into place — every art form, every medium, every platform has a set of rules. Sitcoms have a structure. Movies have a structure. YouTube has a structure. Paintings, photography, podcasts — all of it. And the people who win aren't necessarily the most clever. They're the ones who understand the structure and execute it so cleanly you don't even notice it's there.For someone who's always wanted to do something different, this has been the hardest lesson to sit with. But Jake makes the case that your originality isn't at risk — because whatever you create is going to be uniquely you anyway. The structure is just the container. It's also what separates you from AI, which can replicate structure but can't bring true originality to it.The same principle applies to business: find who's built the career you want, reverse-engineer what they did, and follow the formula. The complications are what slow you down. The simplicities are where you actually grow.In this episode:Why the most successful artists execute structure — not originalityHow sitcoms, movies, YouTube, and photography all follow the same underlying logicThe hardest creative lesson Jake has had to learn (and keep relearning)Why AI proves the point: structure without humanity is just regurgitationHow the same rule applies to building a career and a business

Diese Folge startet direkt ohne Umwege und ja, es wird schnell wild. Jana berichtet von ihrem besonderen Abend bei „7 Paintings“ in Berlin. Vorher noch ein Abstecher ins KaDeWe, danach ein Erlebnis zwischen Kunst, Dinner und Inszenierung. Jeder Gang war einem berühmten Künstler gewidmet: von Michelangelo über Picasso bis Da Vinci. Jana liest das Menü vor und die Jungs versuchen zu erraten, welcher Teller zu welchem Künstler gehört. Das Fazit: eine echte Experience. Dann wird's alltagsnah: Sprachnachrichten. Lars hasst sie leidenschaftlich, Jana liebt sie und Ramon bewegt sich irgendwo dazwischen. Wir diskutieren, wann sie praktisch sind und wann sie einfach zu lang werden. Außerdem möchte Lars unbedingt wissen: Was ist eigentlich „Protein Chic“? Jana hat dazu ihre ganz eigene Theorie und die führt erstaunlich schnell in eine sehr absurde Richtung, irgendwas mit „nach Pupsen riechen“. Natürlich sprechen wir auch über aktuelle Lifestyle- und Fitness-Trends: Was steckt hinter Begriffen wie Bodymaxxing und Lookmaxxing? Geht es dabei um Selbstoptimierung oder einfach nur um neuen Druck? Und brauchen wir eigentlich einen Personal Trainer? Falls ja: Was kostet sowas heute überhaupt? Zwischendurch wird es wie immer herrlich chaotisch, direkt und ehrlich. Wir sprechen offen miteinander, geben ungefilterte Meinungen ab und merken mal wieder, warum unser Dreier einfach funktioniert. Eine Folge zwischen Kunst, Humor, Fitness-Trends, Alltagsthemen und ehrlichen Gesprächen, die manchmal komplett eskalieren.

Within the uncertainty of this process, she takes comfort in knowing that every decision makes a way toward an elusive understanding—that moment when the eye and the heart become one.Manseau holds a BFA from the University of Massachusetts Lowell and an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She has attended the Haystack Mountain School of Craft in Maine as an Open Studio Resident and was a resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center. Paintings developed during her residency in Monasterace, Italy were included in a traveling exhibition at the Monasterace Museo and at Hillyer Art Space for International Artists in Washington, DC.Recent exhibitions include 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Five Points Arts in Connecticut; Westbeth Gallery in New York; and The Gallery at Atlantic Wharf in Boston. She currently lives and works in Rye, New Hampshire.

11. Utopian Visions and Global Exploration in Vermeer's Art Guest: Andrew Graham Dixon Andrew Graham Dixon analyzes Vermeer's View of Delft as a utopian vision of peace and explores how his paintings of astronomers reflected Dutch spiritual efforts to find the lost tribes of Israel. 111900 ADAMS BOULEVARD LA

Folklore and the arts are almost natural bedfellows. As we saw with the work of Newcastle-based painter Ralph Hedley, artists can capture local traditions for posterity. The Pre-Raphaelites created some of the most enduring depictions of myth and legend. Even creating art becomes a part of folk life, with various arts and crafts part of enduring traditions. As we saw with the humble proggy mat, making items can be a way to engage with history and heritage in a very tangible way. So it seemed only natural that when I had three art-related episode requests, I would dedicate a month to Folklore and the Arts. The requests were for: superstitions connected to artworks; haunted portraits; and stories about the creation of certain artworks. Unfortunately, in the case of the last request, there was no indication of which artworks they wanted to know about, but hopefully, I've included them here anyway! In this article, we'll explore a supposedly cursed painting, an apparently haunted portrait, and a painting at the heart of a weird urban legend in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

In the heart of The Hague, Netherlands, the museum Mauritshuis displays some of the world's most iconic art in its Royal Cabinet of Paintings, including ones from Rembrandt and Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. But there's another oil painting by Vermeer that is also quite famous, called View of Delft — it's of his hometown, created around 1660.The painting is a cityscape — the only one Vermeer ever painted — a snapshot of the Dutch city of Delft from across the Schie River. In it you see the city's beautiful architecture on full display, including buildings with striking red roofs. Well, at least they used to be red. Today they have a pink-ish hue and if you looked at the painting up close, you'd see that they are covered in white spots. And what may come as a surprise is that they are, in fact, soap. In today's episode of Tiny Matters, we're going to talk about the weird chemistry of soap, what ancient soap was like, and why scientists are finding soap in old oil paintings.Send us your science facts, news, or other stories for a chance to be featured on an upcoming Tiny Show and Tell Us bonus episode.

100 Paintings: An Artist’s Life in New York City by Rob Mango https://www.robmango.com/100-paintings-an-artist-life-in-new-york https://www.amazon.com/100-Paintings-Artists-Life-York/dp/0692263136 Equal parts monograph and memoir, 100 Paintings: An Artist’s Life in New York City is one man’s artistic journey from his native Chicago to a pioneering residency in Manhattan’s storied neighborhood of Tribeca. Rob Mango, as much an athlete as an artist, has explored New York City on foot since 1977–its architecture and its denizens, its streets and its harbors providing the former track star with the inspiration for much of his highly individualistic work. As noted in the foreword by art critic Robert Mahoney, ”Mango’s paintings can be seen as being produced by a man whose body was fed oxygen to a fantastical high while running through the city.” With more than 200 full-color artworks and photographs, this book documents Mango’s journey and the body of work he has created over the past four-plus decades. From the birth of Tribeca to the horrors of 9/11 and its aftermath, Mango reveals the details as only such a singular artist can. Along the way, he rubs shoulders with Wall Street titans, the art world’s up-and-comers, punk rockers, and such celebrated downtowners as Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers and Bob Dylan. A central hub of Tribeca was the Neo Persona Gallery, which Mango founded in 1984 to represent and exhibit the work of the neighborhood’s burgeoning art scene. Mango’s diverse body of work, depicted here, includes vividly imagined, surreal meditations on the artist in the city and abroad, animated by figures from his personal mythology. Drawings, assemblages, sculptures, paintings, and groundbreaking painted-sculptural hybrid works, from 1975 2014, represent Mango’s entire life as an artist, including stints in the Midwest, New Mexico, Paris, Prague, Venice, and Tuscany. Featured in this retrospective are a series of epic, large-scale paintings set in a fantastic New York, replete with the city’s iconic architectural landmarks, but populated by gods, warriors, shamans, and other figures drawn from many epochs and cultures. Also here are portraits of the famous and infamous, pastoral scenes from a rural Tuscan village, and Mango’s breathtaking series of nudes. About the author Interview originally published in Du Jour, Oct 21, 2014. What brought you to New York City in the ’70s, and how did the city influence you and your artwork? I quickly became aware that the center of the art universe was New York City. The fantasy of coming to [the city] and becoming part of it was launched by painters I encountered while roaming the halls of the Art Institute of Chicago as a teen–Rivers, Johns, DeKooning and Rauschenberg. My obsession with New York became so highly evolved that it sustained me long after I arrived. In many ways, the fantasy of New York exceeded the actual experience initially, which was, in a word, cruel. My Midwestern fantasy of New York sustained the creation of numerous major works, which blend realistic detail and imaginative or surreal invention, particularly “Millennium” and “Return to the City.”

On the April 2026 edition of Cultural workers for Palestine we hear about The Lost Paintings Project with two of the project co-curators, Jolle Tomb and Haidi Motola. The project is described this way: "The Lost Paintings, a Prelude to Return is an imagined recreation of the last exhibition held in Palestine by Palestinian-Lebanese artist Maroun Tomb, which opened on November 29, 1947 in Haifa. The 1947 opening coincided with the very day in which the UN approved the Partition Plan of Palestine, igniting the war and events that will later become known as the Nakba, Arabic for catastrophe, and during which, some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland. Shortly after the opening, Tomb and his family were, too, forced into exile and never allowed to return to their homes. The fate of the 53 oil paintings presented in the exhibition, as well as most of Tomb's pre-1948 body of work, was lost to the war and its pillage. " Learn more about the project here: www.thelostpaintings.com/about-1 This interview series hosted by Stefan Christoff airs on the first Monday of each month on Radio AlHara at 5:30pm, Palestine time, 10:30am eastern time.

In a village in Rajasthan, 25-year-old Ramakant Sharma crafts intricate paintings on delicate rose petals. What sets his work apart is not just its beauty, but its remarkable precision. Balancing colours on such a fragile surface, controlling the brush with finesse and bringing each line to life all demand immense practice, patience, and focus. Ramakant says he achieves this without using a lens. - राजस्थान के एक गाँव में, 25 वर्षीय रमाकांत शर्मा गुलाब की कोमल पंखुड़ियों पर जटिल चित्र बनाते हैं। जो चीज़ उनके काम को सबसे अलग बनाती है, वह न केवल इसकी सुंदरता है, बल्कि इसकी असाधारण सटीकता भी है। ऐसी नाज़ुक सतह पर रंगों को संतुलित करना, ब्रश को चालाकी से नियंत्रित करना और प्रत्येक पंक्ति को जीवंत करना, इन सभी के लिए अपार अभ्यास, धैर्य और ध्यान की आवश्यकता होती है। रमाकांत कहते हैं कि वह लेंस का उपयोग किए बिना इसे हासिल कर लेते हैं।

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation at Kintore College, Toronto, on March 25, 2026.There is something there that we must learn about this gift of hearing in the annunciation. Paintings of the scene often show words that come forth from the angel's mouth, floating through the air to Mary, while she is in a receptive position, the contrapposto, this bending of her body, as though the very words touched her. But paintings are silent. We don' t actually hear the words of the angel. What was Mary's disposition to these sounds?Pope Benedict said: To see this active hearing, a hearing which attracts the Word in such a way that it enters in me and becomes Word in me, reflecting on it and accepting to the depths of the heart. Thus, the Word becomes incarnation. (Pope Benedict XVI, Q&A With Priests of Rome, 26 Feb 2009).There is something for us here to learn about the art of listening.Music: Vienna Philharmonic OrchestraThumbnail: Columba altarpiece of the Annunciation by Roger Van der Weyden, 1455, Alte Pinakothek, Munich.

Welcome back, loves!The male gaze didn't begin with film, it was already centuries old by the time cameras appeared. In this episode, I trace how powerful patrons, religious institutions and elite collectors shaped beauty standards through the paintings they commissioned. From reclining Venuses to carefully staged portraits, these images didn't just depict women, they trained viewers how to look at them. But when women finally entered the art world and began painting themselves and each other, the visual language started to shift.By the end of the episode, you may never look at a painting, a movie scene, or even your own camera roll quite the same way again.Are.

Have you noticed that at the moment, everyone is either trying to predict what is going to happen this year or holding strong nostalgia for the 90's or 2016? There's a reason for this -- remaining is the most profound spiritual work one can do -- and also the hardest. Recorded under a New Moon before the most powerful Solar Storm we've had in over 20 years (!), Ashley speaks about our habit of jumping into the future with worry, or back into the past through nostalgia, and how true peace lives only in the now. This episode is a replay from a recent satsang inside GUIDED, where Ashley talks about awakening as a messy, honest process. Awakening is not instant, sparkly perfection. It is opening, feeling, being triggered, and learning from what arises. She explores how we are moving into a time of feeling rather than thinking, and how awakening is happening both personally and collectively.

Jacques Pépin just turned 90, and he's spent his career defying expectations. By 1958, at the age of 23, he had cooked for three French presidents. But he left that life to work at a high-end restaurant in New York, then gave that up to cook at Howard Johnson's, making food for the masses. After a life-altering accident, Jacques found his next love: teaching other people how to cook. By the early ‘90s he was one of America's best-known TV chefs. This week, Dan visits Jacques at his home in Connecticut, where the chef shares his recipe for SPAM, talks about his pivot to Instagram, and discusses the pleasures of a life spent experimenting.Jacques Pépin's latest book is The Art of Jacques Pépin: Favorite Recipes and Paintings from My Life in the Kitchen.This episode originally aired on January 24, 2022, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Johanna Mayer, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

We move in cycles, seasons and spirals and in today's episode, Ashley speaks on the importance of trusting the timing of your life. She shares how, after ten years of being an entrepreneur, she's starting this year different. For the first time, she's not doing anything she doesn't want to do. She shares how deeply this has shifted her frequency already and also how it didn't arrive quickly -- it's been a process to get to this point of trust, ease and release.  She closes with one simple question that, if kept close in your awareness, will change your life.  * * * * * * * * * * * *  The GUIDED Membership: Everyday Support for Your Awakening — workshops, live satsang, tools and community all in one place.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
