Out Of The Blue

Wow, Thanks Jim and also Jim!

I missed hearing Mr. Blue Sky , having gotten rid of all my vinyl several years ago!

Glen Miller, oh boy, love Serenade in Blue!

Can someone find Blue Tango by anyone? I love that song.

Blue pigment occurs naturally in exactly one form: lapis lazuli. That uniqueness made the color a luxury commodity for thousands of years. Traded at a cost greater than gold, reserved for royalty, and written into artist’s contracts, blue is both visually and materially rich...the color’s journey through art history, from Cleopatra’s eye shadow to Picasso’s blue period.

I'm sure glad I found this thread! I especially enjoyed the video in your post #21 about the Lapis Lazuli.

I have a beaded Lapis Lazuli necklace my Daddy gave me and I knew it was used by early artists in ground up form for an unbelievable pure blue but this video takes it's uniqueness to a whole new level and makes my treasured necklace even more special. Thank you so much for posting this!
 
The Hidden Beach - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
This secluded spot was formed from volcanic activity (or rumored a deliberate bombing).

Playa Del Amor, more commonly known as the Hidden Beach, is a structure of one of the Marieta Islands, located west of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, at the mouth of Banderas Bay.

Samy Charnine ~ Surrealist painter

"Charnine has been impacted by the Masters as well as by the surrealists but his style is pure Charnine. He combines whimsical images with precision in his execution. The result is poetic and seasoned. Winning attention and praise for his technique and sophistication of his ideas, Charnine’s paintings are realistic in their detail yet with composition that evokes an emotional response from the viewer. Born in Nice on the French Riviera, Samy Charnine immigrated to the United States in 1983. He lives a secluded life and is very devoted to his art. He grinds his own paint from historical pigments using recipes and techniques dating from the Renaissance. He is highly demanding on himself and destroys many of his paintings, sometimes years of work, if the result doesn't meet his standards and expectations. He is collected by enthusiasts worldwide".
 
Thank you for posting the Bio of the artist! I'll bet he ground his own Lapis Azulei (sp?) for the blue pigment. I liked the painting before and now, after reading the bio, I love it! Plus, I reeeally love fantail goldfish and koi
