“The Path” by Don Langford

This is one of three new oil paintings by Mostafa Keyhani. Keyhani is best known for his thickly painted, impressionist scenes from Europe. His paintings are full of life, color and charm, and this painting of a busy cafe in France is no exception.

Martin Beaupré Journey of Zen First Thursdays Artwalk November 7    6:00 to 9:00 PM Martin Beaupré returns to Laguna Beach this week with a new collection of paintings from his “Journey of Zen” series. Come see his newest works and meet Monsieur Beaupré in person during the First Thursdays Artwalk at Lu Martin Galleries…

Artist David Palmer demonstrates his technique of using gunpowder to scorch the underlying image of Sitting Bull on his “canvas” of bullets. Palmer subsequently paints with brush and airbrush to finish the piece, which can be seen here.

We are very pleased to welcome Canadian artist Martin Beaupre as the newest member of the gallery. Martin takes us on a Zen journey which reveals a search for beauty and harmony. Inspired by his travels to Asia, and his reverence for Japanese aesthetics, Martin’s paintings combine energy and dynamism with tranquility and serenity.

Martin Beaupre is visiting from Quebec, Canada and he will be attending an exhibit of his most recent paintings. Martin will also be demonstrating his intuitive painting technique at 7:00.
