The Artful Painter returns! It's good to be back in the saddle again. My friend, Chris Kolupski kindly and patiently agreed to help me dust off my recording equipment and bring the Artful Painter back to life. Chris was originally featured back in episode 56 published back in 2021. That was a couple of years before we loaded up the wagons and moved to the Western Slope of Colorado. In this edition of the Artful Painter, Chris Kolupski talks about his unique artist education experience he calls: “Paint Out West.” To me, Chris Kolupski is The Indiana Jones of Outdoor Painting – and for good reason! He's not only an excellent landscape painter and educator, he is an adventurer who loves painting the American South West. Of course, any adventure can certainly come with its own perils. Chris calmly takes these mis-adventures in stride. In this episode he shares the following experiences: He crashed his car into a cow in the middle of the night in New Mexico! Chris made daring attempts to rescue a camera that fell over a cliff! He escaped prosecution after getting caught inadvertently trespassing while teaching a class. In the middle of Navaho land, Chris founds himself on a horse that doesn't want him on his back And then there's that time he got told off by a rude photographer in Arches National Park! Tune in for a blend of humor, inspiration, and practical advice. I'd like to welcome you to this edition of The Artful Painter!

Send us a textNote: Audio Only, See YouTube For Full Video Step back in time with me as we explore the ancient wonders of Tsankawi at Bandelier National Monument. This remarkable archaeological site offers a rare window into the lives of ancestral Puebloan people who made these cliffside dwellings their home centuries ago.Walking through what was once a bustling central plaza, I discovered pottery fragments scattered across rocks—tangible connections to those who lived here long before us. As tradition dictates, these artifacts remain undisturbed where they were found, preserving both archaeological integrity and respecting native beliefs that removing such items means taking ancestral spirits with you.The cave dwellings themselves tell fascinating stories of ingenuity and adaptation. Natural cavities in the cliff face were skillfully enlarged and enhanced with smoke-blackened ceilings and plaster walls for insulation and strength. Imagine climbing ladders as your daily commute, moving between different levels of these vertical neighborhoods! From inside these ancient homes, perfect viewing portals frame distant landscapes, including snow-capped mountains—the same views enjoyed by residents hundreds of years ago.Perhaps most moving are the petroglyphs etched into stone surfaces throughout the site. Spirals, directional markers, human figures, and handprints speak across time, though their exact meanings remain mysterious. When my hand perfectly matched an ancient handprint carved into rock, I felt an intimate connection spanning centuries—two humans touching across time.Whether you're fascinated by archaeology, indigenous culture, or simply appreciate breathtaking landscapes with rich histories, Senkawi offers something truly special. Join me on this journey through time, and remember to respect and protect these precious sites so future generations can experience the same wonder. Have you visited any ancient dwellings? I'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments below!Support the show

An ancient indigenous rock art collection in Western Australia's Pilbara region has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Traditional owners travelled to Paris for the decision, where member nations unanimously voted for the inclusion of the Murujuga Cultural Landscape. The engravings pre-date anything found in ancient Egypt or the Roman empire.

Australia's Murujuga Cultural Landscape, home to over a million ancient rock engravings dating back 50,000 years, has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While traditional custodians celebrate the recognition, serious concerns remain about pollution from Woodside's nearby gas project. UNESCO has asked Australia to continue monitoring industrial impacts. This feature explores the site's global significance, the decades-long campaign for its protection, and the unresolved tension between cultural heritage and resource development.

In this episode of Truth Be Told, host Tony Sweet uncovers a prehistoric enigma hidden in the Amazon rainforest: 12,500-year-old rock art depicting animals thought to have gone extinct long before humans ever reached South America. Mastodons, giant ground sloths, and Ice Age horses—etched in ochre across cliff walls—are challenging everything we thought we knew about human history.How did these early artists know what these creatures looked like? Could this be evidence of an earlier migration, ancient memory, or even something more mysterious? Tony dives into the archaeological implications, the shamanic symbolism, and the unexplained elements that make this discovery one of the most fascinating of our time.
