Larry Cannon:
How did you get started and then develop your career?
Larry: I was initially inspired by Saturday morning PBS watercolor
programs and then by a book by Australian watercolorist Robert Wade.
Fully hooked, I devoured multiple plein air painting videos by David
Curtis and Joseph Zbukvic.
After that, I learned much more and built my career around painting in
over forty plein air juried events including Sonoma, Carmel, Sedona,
Telluride, Estes Park and the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association
Invitational, and by challenging myself by exhibiting with
predominantly oil painters in the California Art Club, Laguna Plein Air
Painters Association and the Society of Marine Artist.

Jim Oswald:
Jim Oswald's Photographic 60 print exhibition is presently on view in
the lobby of the Oaks Restaurant and the card room of the Central
Activities Center until the end of May.
This exhibition is a kaleidoscope of color, nature and creativity. At
the heart of Jim's work is an explosion of brilliant color, complex
patterns and wondrous contrasts. Each photograph is an invitation to
pause, observe, and rediscover nature in all its profound beauty.
Jim especially enjoys turning ordinary images such as oaks (Japanese
Woodcut), geraniums (Navigating the Maelstrom), and suiseki stones (the
Suiseki Island Series), into another visual world of awareness.
Jim enjoys reading all comments and feedback, and can be reached at

abstract paintings on wood panels, or canvas.
