One of a Kind: The Art and Music of Bobby Whitlock

In his later years, however, he found an additional outlet for creative expression--painting.

2027 San Angelo Ceramic Invitational (Precious Scars: The Kintsugi Art of Naoko Fukumaru)
Generously sponsored by John Williams, the San Angelo Endowment for Ceramic Events, and Texas Commission on the Arts
Kintsugi, the Japanese art of golden joinery, is a five-hundred-year-old method of mending damaged ceramics with Urushi natural lacquer dusted with powdered gold, seen as enhancing beauty while celebrating imperfection and impermanence. Naoko Fukumaru, an artist from Vancouver, Canada, presents traditional and contemporary Kintsugi. By beautifully magnifying imperfections in objects, Fukumaru leads us to accept fragility and imperfection in ourselves and in life.
Laurence Saunois' Nympheus Luminansis: Water Lilies of Light
In 2018, French painter Laurence Saunois visited the water lily garden of the master of Impressionism, Claude Monet, at Giverny. She was overcome by its beauty and came away imbued with a passion that has gripped her ever since: To paint the brightness of colors and the incredible play of the light that inspired Monet there so many years ago. The result is her monumental project, Nympheus Luminansis, a series of ten large-scale paintings depicting the water lilies of Giverny. Though painted in a realistic style, very different from Monet, these works pay homage to the master by allowing the viewer to be immersed in the beauty of the natural world that inspired him.
