John Saunders: Where Wild Horses Meet Memory. Top Story - September 2026.
By Brian D’Ambrosio The wild horses of Placitas do not need an introduction to John Saunders. They know the way. They wander near his home in the high desert, sometimes approaching close enough to eat apples and carrots from his hand. They are cautious but curious, animals shaped by instinct and survival, yet willing to accept a moment of care.

Indigo Exhaustion & Blue Regret...💙💙💙💙. Top Story - August 2026.
A wonderful and thought-provoking 1985 oil and acrylic painting called Blue Monday , created by an uber-talented visual artist named Annie Lee, features a young African American woman sitting on the edge of her bed while trying to muster the energy to go to work on a Monday morning at a job that she does not enjoy. Hence, the woman in the painting is essentially fighting the "Monday Blues."

Arty Farty – Are You Serious?. Top Story - August 2026.
I recently read an article discussing the ten most famous paintings in the world. It reminded me of a visit to an art gallery about twenty years ago. Don’t get the wrong idea here. I am not an arty person. I have a few original paintings in my house that I bought for the colours and the overall “likeness factor."

One Work: Girl before a Mirror. Top Story - July 2026.
Like a 1960s version of Tom Sawyer, my big brother got me to purple-wash the beige walls of our parents’ former conjugal quarters. Our dad had moved out of the house and our mom had turned the den into her new bedroom.

One Work: Autumn Rhythm (30). Top Story - July 2026.
I fucking love Jackson Pollock. I know he was a troubled man. Divisive. Controversial. Much like Bukowski. Even when I knew little to nothing about art, I loved the objective brilliance of Pollock blowing convention to fucking smithereens.

One Work: Klimt. Top Story - July 2026.
Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (also called The Lady in Gold or The Woman in Gold ) is an oil painting on canvas, with gold leaf, by Gustav Klimt, completed between 1903 and 1907. The portrait was commissioned by the sitter's husband, Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer, a Viennese and Jewish banker and sugar producer. The painting was stolen by the Nazis in 1941, and displayed at the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere. The portrait is the final and most fully representative work of Klimt's golden phase. It was the first of two depictions of Adele by Klimt—the second was completed in 1912; these were two of several works by the artist that the Bloch-Bauer family owned." Wikipedia

Nature in Art. Top Story - May 2026.
On Tuesday night, I was a little naughty. I indulged in culture, in a night supporting the arts. I should have been at a Parent Teacher Association meeting, discussing the raising of funds for the desperately needed school minibus but I eschewed this for a private invitation to a viewing of Darrell Warner's latest exhibition Crucifixion. Don't think too badly of me. In fact, let's move the focus from me and on to Darrell and his works.

The Long and Colorful History of Persian Art
A Colorful Existence Whether it’s the deep blue tiles on a tomb for poets, the intricate weaving and decoration on a bright red rug, or the flowing calligraphy inside a miniature Quran, Persian artistry never seizes to mystify and astound those who view them.

A Showcase of Museums of Ancient China 1 Boshan furnace
In the Han Dynasty, the idea of seeking immortality was very popular, especially during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. The emperor and nobles revered the world of immortals, sending people to search for immortal mountains and refine pills to seek eternal life. The Boshan furnace is a microcosm of this idea, where when cigarettes rise, people seem to be sitting in the midst of a "sea of fairy mountains and clouds". Boshan furnaces are generally made of bronze, and the surface is often processed with staggered gold and silver techniques, that is, gold and silver threads or pieces with cloud patterns, mountain patterns, and animal patterns are embedded on the surface of the bronze ware. Used for burning spices, for incense, etiquette, and display in court or aristocratic life. Boshan furnace usually consists of three parts: ✨ Furnace cover (Boshan shape) - The layered mountain shape symbolizes the legendary sea fairy mountains, namely Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou, fairy mountains, and the world of eternal life. The top of the furnace cover has a phoenix shaped button that can be lifted and opened. The mountain is hollowed out, and cigarettes rise from the pores, like a fairy mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. ✨ Furnace body - the main part that holds spices, shaped like beans or plates. ✨ Hearthstone - The bottom is often made of divine beast feet to support the furnace body, which is guarded by the spirit realm
