A Paradox

1515 Woodcut "The Rhinoceros" by artist Albrecht Durer


Yesterday, the 1515 woodcut 'The Rhinoceros', by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer sold for a record $866,500 at Christie's in New York. The work was was part of a 62-lot sale of Dürer prints consigned by an anonymous European collector.

The previous record for Dürer was $653,336 for 'Adam and Eve', which sold in 2011.

Ontario Arts Walk! Wow! What a Great Evening!

Home from the Ontario Arts Walk about an one hour now. I'm exhausted. Wow! I have a lot to share about my sensational evening meeting and making friends with so many astonishingly creative people. Please connect with me so that I can tag you in my next posts on this successful evening of artistic collaboration. I want to thank Erns Valdez for inviting me and the hosts and coordinators Liset Banks, Lebec Deweese, Jessica Hardy, and Lisa Kennedy.  I will post more when I am more coherent. For now its chicken broth and coma time. Night night. CelenaDiana.

What's Going Right

What's Going Right
Tonight, I attended "Arts Connection", an event hosted by the Arts Council of San Bernardino County, California, and to sum up the event in one word.  "Wow!!!" 7 hours after leaving the 5 hour event, I am still imagining all the ways art can help bring economy back into this region. I had the most wonderful and beautiful experiences discussing and sharing artistic life and passions.  I will post more positive information about yesterday evening on both my blog sites and on my FB pages Expressionist's Oasis, Perceptions:  Breast Cancer Support and Health, and Islands for Writers. 
These are really exciting times and I am really looking forward to being a positive, motivational, educational, and  nurturing support to our community's foundations. and long term vision.
It was truly an hour to attend the event and share creative thoughts with other people from the art as a whole to specific niches that foster creative innovations.
