Wa Market
by Mian Situ
"The location is in a small town within the province of Yunnan in South West China. The market is a place of gathering, held every five days, this is where the rural Chinese people have the opportunity to trade their goods, they can barter for anything from farm animals, to produce, clothing, and all types of handmade items. There is something for everyone. And best of all is that this is a great place to people watch. The marketplace is an important social event, an opportunity to spend time with friends and relatives. Many of the people walk for several miles to attend the festival of the market; each dressed in their specific village attire."

Happy Independence Day! 🎆
Introducing: “Moonrise Celebration” by Jennifer Moses @jennifermmoses
Oil on linen panel; 24” x 26”
Frame handcrafted by @c.kirkegaardframes
“Fireworks, an aerial celebration of shimmering explosions that burst across the night sky. With each explosion, a magnificent display of shapes and lights appear at the pinnacle in a rainbow of colors, then fall and fade into darkness leaving behind a swirling cloud of smoke. I have found something ethereal and mysterious in them. Each one is unlike the next and their unique journey provides endless variations within this mystical and celebratory theme.”
—Jennifer Moses

“Riley’s Farm in Oak Glen, California, has become a special place of refuge for our family, and one of our regular destinations. Our sons love the
farmland and to be able to experience performances of the Civil War and American Revolution reenactments that are held there. An extra treat is the colonial-period dinners at the cantina that include freshly-baked classic apple pies made from apples grown right on the farm. The dinners are accompanied by remarkable renditions of the famed Patrick Henry speech
recited by the incomparable Jim Riley, owner of the farm.
Meanwhile for me, Riley’s Farm has become a great place for nature study, especially during the magic time of apple blossom season in spring. The mutually magnifying relationship of color and tonality has become a special area of my visual interest in recent years. The subtleties of the apple blossoms create a feeling and sensation of quietude. The breathtaking shimmer of the pale yellowish-white petals accentuated by gleaming pink buds are contrasted by flaming green fresh leaves - the magnificent scene is set
against enchanting mountain slopes. The fragrance and colors of the blossoms attract busy bees perpetuating pollination. In these moments, nature speaks its eternal verses.”

“The Sierra Nevada is my favorite mountain range. Over the years, I have taken many mule pack trips to the area to spend time painting there. In order to capture the first warm light on Mt. Robinson, I had to get up very early—and then, paint very fast! From my initial small plein air study, I developed this piece.”

🏎️ New painting by Tony Peters!
20th Anniversary Exhibition: Celebrating a Legacy of Excellence and Premier Art. November 10 - December 16
You are invited to see the new exhibition, please DM for appointments.
Tony Peters - "Red Mustang, Bixby Bridge", oil on canvas, 20" x 20"
“This painting was inspired by my overwhelming desire to escape Seattle and return home to Southern California. I have driven the Coast Highway a few times en route between the Pacific Northwest and San Diego, always in search of potential subjects for my art, while at the same time avoiding the seeming Zombie Apocalypse to be found along the 5 Freeway. For me, the classic red Mustang is a kind of symbol of simple freedom on the open road. In a way, the setting could be seen as rather timeless, taking place anytime since the mid-1960s. While I am on a long driving trip, I like to imagine myself in this timeless state, unplugged from distractions like my phone, submerged instead in a meditative silence.”

Stephen Mirich - "Autumn Marsh; Harbor City, San Pedro", oil on panel, 18" x 24"
“The waxing gibbous moonrise at Bixby Slough, also known as Machado Lake and Harbor Regional Park, is located in Harbor City and close to where I live in San Pedro. It has been a favorite painting location for me for many years. This was once the path of the Los Angeles River. Now, it is a park, where you can feel like you’re deep in the wilderness.”

Adam Matano - "Primal Serenity", bronze, 9" x 6" x 5"
“This enigmatic being, grappling with the weight of a world slipping through their grasp, a fusion of might and compassion. The hands may not hold salvation. Bound by an unbreakable, gentle resolve, this figure finds itself unable to preserve its realm, yet remains the vigilant observer, a silent, stoic witness to the unabating drift of worlds.”

You are invited to see the Gallery!
20th Anniversary Exhibition: Celebrating a Legacy of Excellence and Premier Art
November 10 - December 16
Founded two decades ago by Elaine Adams, American Legacy Fine Arts (ALFA) was started to support the work of renowned artist Peter Adams. Over the years, the gallery has become a haven for artists and art enthusiasts who share a profound appreciation for exceptional art.
Artwork by Peter Adams @artofpeteradams
"The Pink Moment on the Topa Topa Bluffs overlooking an Apricot Orchard; Ojai Valley", oil on panel, 24" x 30"
“In an 1878 Los Angeles Times article describing the magic of Ojai Valley, the writer declared ‘The magnetic center of the earth is here.’ Indeed, many visitors express experiencing a spiritual connection to the area. Certainly, I felt a sense of inner peace with this scene as well as an appreciation for living in Southern California. The fact that the Topatopas span an east-west direction makes it one of the few locations in the world to experience the ‘pink moment’ phenomenon during sunset. At this occurrence, the picturesque apricot orchard in the foreground falls under the shadow of the nearby mountains and the entire scene takes on a contemplative mood. Evenings in the Ojai Valley are renowned for their exceptional serenity and beauty. The name 'Ojai' finds its roots in the Chumash language, specifically the word 'Awahi,' which translates to 'moon.' The Chumash People have a rich history dating back thousands of years in the region, and historical records indicate their profound interest in the study of the cosmos. It is interesting to think that this same pink moment has been gazed upon for millennia."
