			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leonardo could have kept horses, together with dogs, cats together with other animals. Although numerous animal research is found throughout Leonardo&#8217;s drawings, his most frequent animal sketches are of horses. His renderings are really detailed and life-like. He infused his renditions of animals with nobility &#8211; a characteristic that stemmed from his deep respect for that animals he sketched and painted.</p>
<p>During the mid 1480s, Leonardo moved from Florence to Milan. In those days, Milan was the single most powerful city-states in Northern Italy. And, it&#8217;s Duke, Ludovico Sforza, commissioned Leonardo to generate a horse like few other to honor the Duke&#8217;s father, Francesco Sforzo. It had been to become a massive, bronze-cast statue &#8211; the greatest statue ever built, standing 24 feet high.</p>
<p>Leonardo created great number of preparatory drawings for his Sforza Horse. His notebooks are filled up with proportional studies of horses. There are detailed diagrams within the anatomy of horses, coupled with notes in order to cast it, plus it would weigh 80 tons once complete! Leonardo made the clay model to scale, nonetheless the bronze horse hasn&#8217;t been to generally be. In 1499, in france they army threatened another panic attack. The metal designed for the Sforza Horse could well be were required to make canons. Leonardo left Milan before the French Army marched to the city. Seeing the massive clay horse, french soldiers could hardly resist utilizing it for target practice.Thereafter it turned out reduced to rubble. Leonardo became despondent at once, vowed to just one day see his horse completely built.</p>
<p>Much has become written throughout history with regards to the &#8220;Horse that Never Was&#8221;. 600 years as soon as the destruction within the clay model, depending on the notes and sketches of Leonardo, the 24-foot bronze horse was cast. In truth, two full-scale statues were completed. One stands in Michigan, whilst the other was given to be a gift to your Capital of scotland &#8211; Milan. United Airline Pilot Charles Dent made it happen. Upon seeing an original sketches that was rediscovered vacation, he soon began the whole process of raising the essential funds to develop the full-scale, bronze horse. His plan would be to perform to be a gift into the Italians from your Americans. Being something of any sculptor himself, he built a clay model of the horse to Leonardo&#8217;s specifications. And, although Charles Dent died in 1994, his dream lived on and more than four-million dollars spent my childhood years. On September 10th, 1999, exactly 500 years following French destroyed Leonardo&#8217;s clay model, the bronze statue was unveiled in Milan. On October 7th, 1999, an alternate casting in the horse was unveiled in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This second horse is called the American Horse.</p>
<p>Along with his studies of mammals, Leonardo made many bird sketches. Inside medieval publication Lives of Artists, Giorgio Vasari tells how Leonardo travels to the markets and buying caged birds, then open their cages, it will back their freedom.(1) Leonardo studied the motion in their wings flying and their anatomy and physiology. He wrote down and illustrated his theories around the flight of birds and was inspired to produce several sketches of mechanical flying machines. He wrote a treatise called Codex for the Flight of Birds in which he made diagrams of an helical wing, beating wings, a parachute, and bat wings. Later he realized the down sides with human-powered propulsion and began making notes and diagrams of gliders. He also produced machine based on a helical screw that is 32 or 33 feet across.(2) It absolutely was required to lift off and fly as the blade rotated, resembling a modern-day helicopter.</p>
<p>Leonardo&#8217;s passionate fascination with studying animals was unique for his time. He studied and observed animals, and sketched and painted all of them with grace and realism. Other Renaissance artists like Michelangelo (1475-1564) and Raphael (1483-1520), who focused more on the humanity and divinity in art, didn&#8217;t include animals into their will the extent as Leonardo did.(3) Without neglecting the Divine in Humanity, Leonardo certainly other Renaissance artists, elevated all nature and made it area of the Divine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leonardo da Vinci appeared in 1492 for a Tuscan farmhouse in Anchiano, Italy, near the capital of scotland &#8211; Vinci where he spent the vast majority of his childhood. He was the son of Ser Piero in addition to a girl called Caterina who worked for him. After Leonardo came into this world, the daddy and mother did not remain together. Only recently have information on Leonardo&#8217;s birth mother occured. In 2002, Alessandro Vezzosi, Director on the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Vinci, Italy, told the press on the list of found substantial proof Leonardo&#8217;s mother was obviously a slave girl without a peasant girl, as previously believed.(1) Vezzosi proceeded to report that Leonardo&#8217;s father would have been a craftsman who owned a Middle-Eastern female slave named Caterina. And, based on their discovery, a couple of months after Caterina gave birth to Leonardo, she was married off and away to one of several workers.</p>
<p>Leonardo lived in Anchiana as well as in Vinci until he was eight yoa. Afterward, he relocated to Florence together with his father. When Leonardo was 14, he became an apprentice under the famed sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio in Florence. For the reason that period, Verrocchio was the top Florentine artist. Want Leonardo was between 21 and 23 yr old, he become a very skilled painter. Verrocchio permitted Leonardo that will help which has an important painting, The Baptism of Christ (Uffizi Gallery, Florence). Leonardo painted the setting along with the kneeling angel. Looking at their home that whenever Verrocchio saw that Leonardo could paint a lot better than anyone he&#8217;d ever seen, including himself, he lost the fight painting once for all. Verrocchio decided yet pay attention to sculpture.</p>
<p>Leonardo da Vinci was said to employ a great passion for animals, with his fantastic journals further illustrates this. He would have been a vegetarian, as a minimum within the latter component of his life (nobody needs to have definite proof that they would have been a strict vegetarian as part of his formative years). He wrote, &#8220;The time arrive when men including I&#8217;m going to look upon the murder of animals when they now look on the murder of men.&#8221; He also remarked, &#8220;The smallest feline is often a masterpiece.&#8221;</p>
<p>From the 1480s, Leonardo painted Lady While using Ermine. This lady inside painting is Cecilia Gallerani, the 17-year-old mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. She carries an ermine for 3 reasons. First, to your Duke of Milan, being previously appointed into the Order within the Ermine by Ferdinand I of Naples, the ermine was the symbol of heraldry on his coat of arms. Second, the ermine was widely known as symbolic of virtue and purity. And then, that it was a experience Cecilia Gallerani&#8217;s name for the reason that Greek reputable name ermine is &#8220;galee&#8221;.</p>
<p>In Leonardo&#8217;s notebooks, he wrote that this ermine eats alternate day. Most likely the ermine, an animal relevant to the sable and weasel, stayed within the studio while the painting was being completed. Inside the Renaissance period, soft-hair styling brushes were made of ermine tail tips. Brushes were also produced from squirrel fur and fastened into goose or hen feathers &#8211; another advantage the ermine could have been from home during the studio.</p>
<p>Leonardo da Vinci included cats in most of his sketches. On one sheet of animal sketches in her notebook, the artist portrayed over twenty cats, and the other dragon. He drew cats in different poses, alone, for some other cats, and being cuddled and held. His sketches are lively and reveal the solemn affection he previously for felines.</p>
<p>Throughout the mid to late 1470s, Leonardo done several different studies relating to the theme of the Madonna as well as Christ Child, holding the cat. It was originally considered that no paintings existed beyond his initial studies of these paintings. Recently; however, Madonna using the Cat, which happens to be during the group of industrialist Carlo Noya in Savona, Italy, was seen to be a painting by none other than Leonardo.(2) The painting will depend on a legend in regards to cat being born at the same moment since the baby Jesus.</p>
<p>Other sketches for paintings which feature animals and are also with different legend or myth are Leda as well as Swan. Although no actual paintings exist, there are loads of drawings. The story is the fact Leda was seduced because of the God Zeus available as a swan and bore two eggs, which lead to the development of Helen of Troy with Clytemnestra, and Castor with Pollux.</p>
<p>However, there are countless studies and sketches manufactured by Leonardo, only 13 or 14 actual paintings exist today. One example of these is Madonna and Child with St. Anne, painted from 1508 to 1510. The figures depicted all connect with the other, and also baby Jesus is shown tightly holding just a little lamb. Da Vinci painted the lamb with sensitivity and detail. The lamb is synonymous with Jesus Christ&#8217;s sacrificial death for mankind. Leonardo&#8217;s animal subjects derived from reality and are loaded with vitality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This can be a journey of sorts from a state of mind to another one as well as colors and moods that guided me. I describe three paintings as well as their process.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anticipation&#8221; 36&#215;24 oil on canvas, dated, Sept. 1998, from my &#8220;Passion Series&#8221; * was actually a breakthrough piece for me personally. I&#8217;m painting my &#8220;Victorian Series&#8221; for months, spending too much time on modulating the colors. I paint a lot from photos. Achieve while using &#8220;Victorian Series&#8221; would be to invest several colors during the epidermis when i could. Examining an image or life time enough a great deal of colors will show themselves that normally go unnoticed. Modulating many colors I became frustrated and bored after finishing 10 or more of which. I saw it a canvas which i had painted a dark blue and decided that maybe it is ok to play&#8230;..rather than modulate at all. I discovered an image which liked, studied the colors, filled my brush an innovative for each stroke and applied the crooks to my canvas. I haven&#8217;t modulated to your extent i was since. I continued painting using this color palette naming the series &#8220;The Passion Series&#8221;. I still attempted to fit every color during the rainbow on my own palette when i do today to this very day adding small nuances wherever I&#8217;ll. I&#8217;d personally add here too how the series before &#8220;The Passion Series&#8221; was &#8220;Hawaiian Legacy&#8221; that is predominantly carried out in sepia, tones.</p>
<p>Another demonstration of continuing to move forward is &#8220;Girl On Phthalo Green&#8221; 36&#215;48 oil on canvas, dated Oct. 2000 and from my &#8220;Cosmopolitan Series&#8221; * I became tired with the palette of blues and fell gets interested phthalo green for a period of time. I guess I still think itrrrs great. This painting was greatly relying on Modgliani. Lake was in secondary school, in the past, my mother asked to copy a Modigliani house. I painted a 60&#215;72 piece for my child in corals. I never forgot that painting nor Modigliani. Once i feel truly inspired paintings are finished quickly and the brushstrokes are done wildly. I will be in heaven of these times. I painted this in perhaps 3 hours over another painting I didnt like.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Power Within Me&#8221; 48&#215;36 oil and gold liner on canvas dated August 2002 is part of my &#8220;African Series&#8221; * This painting is part of my &#8220;African Series&#8221;. I often went phthalo green coupled with my beloved full palette in this series. I painted this quickly in the process. It almost appears like nausea, it really flows. I attribute that to doing my homework as they say. All of those years of modulating and painting in sepia tones, my constant drawing in graphite gives me basics of understanding. I set down colors while i feel them, almost inside of a dance in fact it is most definitely trance like. I personally use a great deal of paint and rehearse big brushes. Frequently from dark to light. I save the lights and small brushes until I am confident that I am happy with the painting normally. It is usually tempting to work with small brushes and then add highlight but I remind myself that that would probably ruin the painting making it appear tedious. Sometimes they just do not work, but I simply think, &#8220;So What!&#8221; I&#8217;m able to always paint over it, that&#8217;s the gift of doing oils. I&#8217;m sure sometimes there is more freedom in oils than there is certainly in drawing and quite a few certainly watercolors. Painting on large canvas&#8217; is likewise very free. Once i paint small I become locked up and returning to where I started lake modulated colors. After we draw on paper we endeavor to tell ourselves it is &#8216;just paper&#8217; to attempt to set ourselves devoid of be worried about the end results, but oils produce a better friend to my opinion.</p>
<p>In every of my paintings emotion plays the strongest part. It is a part that can take the longest. If anything needs to be right it&#8217;s the emotion experienced the image, to enable them to breath. Sometimes I cannot have that part and is also so frustrating to me we cannot sleep during the night time. It will become the sole thing It is my opinion about. I choose to color mostly women because I am one and also since I do think there&#8217;re beautiful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For starters in drawing and learning to draw the human figure, the time you select to draw in with are a big step to your making success. Let&#8217;s examine the 3 easy steps to drawing are.</p>
<p>Consider Started!</p>
<p>So&#8230;All set to start drawing! Let&#8217;s talk tools, right for the project. It is advisable to realize when you see this article that artists are experimenters. They never cease trying new ideas this is applicable to materials in the process. Different materials and mixtures of materials are something you for an artist are going to require to experiment with and pay attention to what utilizes you. This can be a guide or place to begin about materials that may help you against your journey.</p>
<p>Paper</p>
<p>Paper encompasses us and serves a number of purposes. Paper names provide us with direction concerning their purpose, for instance &#8220;tracing&#8221; paper. Common typewriting paper that&#8217;s inexpensive is usually good practice paper. Pads of newsprint are sold for alongside nothing at art supply stores, these are generally great practice pads.</p>
<p>Paper is a fantastic resource in your drawings. While you try different textures you will see different effects come through in your drawings. Textures are rated as rough, medium, smooth, or glossy. Rough paper holds more graphite or charcoal than smooth paper, so drawings will contrast more involving the lights and darks. This produces a more grainy outcome. On smooth paper, you may use soft pencils, to be able to develop dark values. But on smooth paper soft pencils smear easily and you should want an eraser handy! Another disadvantage in smooth surface is usually that graphite looks shiny when laid concerning smooth paper.</p>
<p>For myself, I prefer to use a medium grain paper that&#8217;s enough grain to have me from getting too detailed. It can help me to lay in big strokes and prevent excessive detail too quickly. I love toned papers to create out highlights. (I personally use white chalk or pencils that can help on this effect.)</p>
<p>Section of the journey for an artist is finding what works best for you. Test different grains, tones, and weights of paper till you see the effect. Let us discuss the methods I exploit and may even be the good starting point on your behalf.</p>
<p>- Strathmore</p>
<p>- Roma</p>
<p>To here is your chance Board</p>
<p>Although you don&#8217;t always want a drawing board, something to back up a fantastic firm drawing surface is significant. You&#8217;ll be able to work with a lightweight firm board for instance; 1/8&#8243; plywood, masonite, or foam core. Most of these work all right! Feel free to use masking tape, thumbtacks, pushpins, or clips to carry the paper about the drawing board.</p>
<p>Pencils</p>
<p>Drawing pencils are available various sorts of leads. From very soft to very hard, pencils can be a tool to acquire very aware of. The softer the pencil is, the thicker the lead. The harder the pencil is, the thinner charge, and in addition, the grayer the queue.</p>
<p>Vine charcoal- is excellent because it is subtle and erases well. You might want to handle these carefully since they have a tendency to break easily. Vine charcoal is great for initial lay in of your drawing. Used with a light weight touch it really is completely erased enabling you the liberty to alter your drawing and make corrections easily. The vine charcoal allows your drawing to stay fluid so that you can change things simply.</p>
<p>New pastels- Pastels are great to use. Conte&#8217; brand is ideal because they are not quite as oily. New pastels are certainly not as simple to erase. It&#8217;s essential to you have to be careful using these for that reason. When you do the first lay within the vine charcoal plus your placement is accurate, new pastel gives you good control and value range.</p>
<p>Graphite pencils are labeled H for hard and B for soft. The higher the number before the H, the harder the lead. 9H being the hardest. The higher the number while watching B&#8230;the softer the pencil.</p>
<p>Personally, i don&#8217;t like to draw with graphite pencils because I feel too shiny. The exception using this type of is, needless to say, rough sketches. I wouldn&#8217;t mind with him or her for these. Utilize the side with the graphite pencil for line variation. Experiment, experiment, experiment&#8230;Find pencils that you choose to feel work well with your drawings and paper. Prevent your pencils sharp! My tips on pencils are:</p>
<p>- Sanford Ebany Jet black extra smooth</p>
<p>- Vine charcoal</p>
<p>- New Pastels</p>
<p>Erasers</p>
<p>Kneaded erasers come as small rectangular blocks. Complete a form of this block and knead it like dough, then it becomes soft and pliable. Please make sure on one end by pressing it between thumb and forefinger. It&#8217;s my eraser usually chosen!</p>
<p>Additionally you can try a medium soft eraser such as the pink pearl. Should you have an exceptionally dark area you would like to remove, you can use scotch tape and this will lift the vast majority of it well after which you can make use of kneaded eraser to perform the remainder.</p>
<p>I understand this sounds redundant but as i&#8217;ve already explained, a natural part of art may be the journey of finding what works for you. This is a good starting place for materials. During my journey to get the right tools, I&#8217;ve tried out different paper tones and colored pens from time to time. I now be aware that the vine charcoals and new pastels are the best.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you&#8217;re seeking original paintings or art prints from noted artists or even inexpensive reproductions, better information there is the better decisions you will make concerning selection, condition, conservation, and framing with the pieces you&#8217;ll acquire.</p>
<p>The cardinal rule would be to always buy anything you love. In case you have a primary positive step to the art, then then you will appreciate the project more since you accept it. Fortunately, today, different venues through which fine art is presented offer many possibilities to enjoy art is likely to environment no matter your capacity to pay.</p>

<p>An original new painting, consequently made up of watercolor, oil, acrylic or a few other substance, is normally looked upon as one out of that the paint is applied utilizing a brush or any other means of application to the appropriate surface to derive a particular masterwork. Its value is situated not just by its aesthetic, circumstantial, or historical attributes and because its one-of-a-kind.</p>
<p>Original Art Prints</p>
<p>Some artists utilize types of printing by which different materials such as linoleum or wood blocks, stones, copper, steel, aluminum, plexiglass plates, or silkscreens, are employed to apply ink. While quite a few prints could possibly be generated through the same plate, each is accepted as an original print due to variations built into the applying process by which each bit is produced.</p>
<p>Collagraphs are produced in the construction of collage-like &#8220;boards&#8221; which are used such as a plate in order to apply the ink to paper. Louis Pohl developed her own special technique of collagraphic printing utilizing mixed media to achieve the varying textures and intensities which he felt were missing in the conventional methods being utilized. The short life-span from the boards generally limited the sheer number of prints that might be generated on this fashion and with the individual variations from one print an additional this provided all the attributes upon which anybody prints are valued.</p>
<p>Serigraphs are created by using a technique of silkscreening allowing you for more accurate and higher-quantity printing from the master than receives collagraphs.</p>
<p>In traditional Lithography, the graphic is manufactured or transferred onto a limestone or photosensitive plate, inked develop rollers and printed by hand in some recoverable format on the large flat press.<br />

<p>Most original art prints are printed in editions, bearing a variety plus the signature of your artist certifying the sum of range of prints which are designed for your work. By way of example, a print bearing the cell number 3/10 would indicate that it is print number three associated with a total of ten prints in this particular edition.</p>
<p>Reproductions</p>
<p>Offset Lithographs and Giclees are both printed reproductions of art pieces offering popular works at consumer prices. Offset lithographs are produced using commercial offset printing concerning magazines and brochures, and tend to be run large quantities to let affordability.</p>
<p>Giclee is definitely the French word meaning to spray or squirt. Giclee prints absolutely are a popular style of reproduction in which a digital picture of an innovative a thing of beauty is printed from an printer&#8217;s onto paper, canvas or some other media. Giclees are more expensive than offset reproductions, but provde the selling point of producing one or even a few prints inside of a practical way over a number of substrates.</p>
<p>As mentioned initially, the cardinal rule involving art is to find what you may love. The organization of collecting art for investment sake is a speculative one.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While you&#8217;re producing flower landscape oil paintings, remember the short canvas blend life of oil paints. For anyone who is producing an oil painting of the flower landscape and you must make a move which is not immediately effective, the greatest thing to do is wipe it well in your paint rag and begin over. This works for any first A day after your painting, as oil paintings take this long to dry. In truth, it is critical to never make too thick a first coat or you may never get your oil paints to dry.</p>
<p>One important part of oil painting advice will be to clean your hair brushes any time you change colors. You choose to do this first by wiping so much paint journey brush which has a rag as is possible and then inserting the brush within the paint thinner. Not only will this read more oil paints off your brush, but will extend the life to your thinner at the same time. Swish your paint brush around from the container of paint thinner, then dry it using your clean paint rag.</p>
<p>When the first layer of one&#8217;s flower landscape oil painting creation is completed, wait 48 hours when you begin on your second paint application or ensure find yourself smearing the project you already did. At the same time don&#8217;t leave your oil painting somewhere hot or humid. Make perfectly sure that its location will protect it from getting accidently scraped, smooshed, smeared, or touched in any way.</p>
<p>You probably have lots of paint left over the palette and you just desire to use it once you start your flower landscape oil paintings again, scrape the paint together with your knife. Next put a tiny amount of paint thinner using a cleam paint rage and use it to scrub your whole paint palette. Plastic wrap is ideal since the paint that is certainly leftover. Make sure you wrap it tightly though.</p>
<p>It is necessary likewise, that unless you begin anew with all your flower landscape oil paintings, that you simply replace the lid to the container of paint thinner and hang it aside, however cloudy it looks. The paint thinner will settle along with the pigment that is definitely section of the paint will drop for the bottom from the container.</p>
<p>Clean thinner will settle at the summit. The very next time your going to your flower landscape oil paintings you&#8217;ll just need to pour topping layer of clean paint thinner into a new and clean thinner container, and wipe the pigment journey bottom.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To better comprehend the nature of a few things i am painting, I hiked go into reverse on the Montana De Oro bluffs today. Rrt had been a pristine day. The brilliant sky lit up the ocean making for vivid colors everywhere. I especially take advantage of the places when the sun pierces the pool to result in the submerged bubbles to glow green. Swirling residual bubble patterns decorated the outer lining. Gushing white sea foam softly bathed the rocks almost like offering some therapy to soothe and smooth their jagged edges. I climbed down the layers of rock stratum formed in antiquity like descending stairs from the chronicles of one other era. My intent ended up study precisely what the rocks really might look like while glistening on a sunny day. I hoped to capture the essence for this natural effect inside my painting if you are paying particular focus to the mechanics for this common phenomenon.</p>
<p>That it was fun seeking a spot where I could possibly get close enough towards the wet rocks without being splashed by way of the incoming waves. You must have knowledge of the ocean, keeping watch for rouge waves. I focused in around the colours from the stratum&#8217;s surface. While observing the patterns and shapes I saw that various mixtures of Burnt Siena, Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber as well as a very light Tannish Grey would represent the root surface exceptionally well. It became apparent if you ask me that it&#8217;s going to be expected to keep the overall brightness in the painting down a lttle bit as a way to emphasize the highlights sufficiently. For additional about this technique you will look into the article; &#8220;How to produce your highlights really get noticed&#8230;&#8221; I noticed there appeared to be an intermittent blue gray glow on the wet surfaces. Also, the porous nature of the rock ensures that the wet areas of the rock will probably be much darker in comparison to the dry portions. Outline the raised edges include the highlights. Search engine optimization trip study has revealed if you ask me that there is additional to your highlights than throwing some white paint mixed with underlying colors from the right spots. This time, my pinpoint the subject has educated me in to dissect the glow and really see computerized devices glisten. Almost certainly I am able to attempt in layers. The primary layer may be the color in the underlying surfaces combined with a light-weight purple-blue gray.</p>
<p>Graduating toward center of the glowing reflection in layers, a tad bit more white and purple need to be added. Do not improve the overall lightness on the color a lot. One must resist this urge as a way to leave room for contrast between what is being painted now as well as the brightest highlight. Occasionally, I am going to give a few glistening &#8220;cross-hairs&#8221;. Now i&#8217;m mentioning the way the light appears to be split into little bursts at most intense reflections. These sense that pure white. I was surprised to see likely relatively purple-blue gray &#8211; very light not surprisingly, but retracted in intensity enough to leave lots of space for contrast relating to the &#8220;cross hairs&#8221; of reflected light along with the final spot of pure light. The next step is to generate a small faded prism effect surrounding the center of the most intense highlights. Generally, I have observed the reds on the right as well as blues around the left. This should actually be small, about 3/16ths inch wide. Finally, I&#8217;ll mix my purest brightest white with glossy dryer. The item is usually to form a smallish spherical bead of paint about 1/16 inch wide. It should be place between blue as well as red with the faded prism effect.</p>
<p>OK, it&#8217;s time to start working to the canvas. Let me do my better to explain to you the outcome with photographs. Do e-mail me with any comments.</p>
<p>Early recognition within the state of Ohio encouraged Paul Leasure to pursue his adoration for painting, forsaking a profession in electronics engineering. At age 25, his unique artistic accomplishments were the topic of a short article from the Plain Dealer, a principal Cleveland newspaper. By 1995, Leasure had designed and created an exhibit that highlighted a renewed interest for the splendors of our own planet. Paul titled the exhibit �Earth Walk�. This excellent exhibit presented his renderings of wildlife art within the environment that included plants, music, and even live animals. The action caught a person&#8217;s eye in the Plain Dealer, WEWS 5, Fox 8, WKYC 3 News.</p>
