About this page...

The last thought one has before going to sleep often provides the impulse for where one goes at night during sleep. If one's last mood and feeling prior to sleep is inspired and uplifted then we have the chance to penetrate to where beauty is the leading principle. This sets the tone for one's experiences.

THE CURRENT FEATURED ARTIST: EYVIND EARLE

Born in New York in 1916, Eyvind Earle began his prolific career at the age of ten when his father, Ferdinand Earle, gave him a challenging choice: read 50 pages of a book or paint a picture every day. Earle choose both. From the time of his first one-man showing in France when he was 14, Earle’s fame had grown steadily. At the age of 21, Earle bicycled across country from Hollywood to New York, paying his way by painting 42 watercolors. In 1937, he opened at the Charles Morgan Galleries, his first of many one-man shows in New York. Two years later at his third consecutive showing at the gallery, the response to his work was so positive that the exhibition sold out and the Metropolitan Museum of Art purchased one of his paintings for their permanent collection. His earliest work was strictly realistic, but after having studied the work of a variety of masters such as Van Gogh, Cézanne, Rockwell, Kent and Georgia O’Keefe, Earle by the age of 21, came into his own unique style. His oeuvre is characterized by a simplicity, directness and surety of handling. (To see the rest of the biography please visit this website:  http://www.eyvindearle.com/Bio.aspx)
