Not Just a Painting Class, an Exhibit by Robin Caspari and Students The painting classes that have been taking place on Robin Caspari’s scenic farm aren’t just art classes anymore.  They have morphed into an artistic community.  There is a feeling in the air that is openly acknowledged, a duty to create, and the group speaks louder than the individual.   The gathering has a soul all its own, and this has propelled each individual into a deeper understanding of the search for artistic freedom, potentiality and capacity.  On a regular basis, new students emerge, and old ones pass on, but there is never a skip in the step, never an interruption in the rhythm.  All is one, and one is all. It is a truly magical experience.   Capturing the Light with Spontaneity and Vibrancy; an Exhibit by Tsveti Sowers As a dedicated Plein Air painter, I am passionate about studying light and capturing its essence with loose, vibrant brushstrokes. For me, creating art is a deeply personal and poetic experience. I am truly grateful for the ability to express my true voice through my paintings.   I am particularly excited about this exhibition because it introduces something new to my audience. Alongside my Plein Air paintings and still life’s, I am showcasing figurative paintings and portraits. This new direction feels natural, driven by a curiosity and a desire to explore fresh artistic challenges. Embracing this new chapter in my career, I am ready to branch out and share this evolution with you.   ….but is it art?
