Hi All our Fine Art Magazine Blog reader Happy 4th of July from al or us to all of you. !!!!

Happy July 4^th, the 250th of the Declaration of Independence!!!

The Preamble of Our Constitution States:“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”

So I continue to take pictures of the waters around where I live. IN this way I hope have people see the need to secure their domestic welfare within the environment in common defense of human health as a trust to preserve tranquility, and  the general welfare.

SUMMER MEMBERS EXHIBIT: COLOR & LIGHT

Islip Arts Council hosts bi-annual exhibitions for its members in the summer & winter. This summer, Islip Arts Council invited its membership to submit works for the Summer 2026 Members Exhibit, COLOR AND LIGHT: Works Inspired by the French Impressionists. French Impressionism was a radical late 19th-century art movement that broke from traditional, studio-based academic painting. Instead, artists endeavoured to capture fleeting moments, modern life, and the changing effects of light. Rather than focusing on sharp details, artists concentrated on how light defined a moment, often painting the same subject at different times of day.  Led by artists like Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas, Impressionism paved the way for modern art by challenging, and eventually overturning, established conventions. IAC challenged its members to explore this classic style in modern day terms. On view July 7 - 31 Opening Reception: Saturday, July 18, 1-3pm FEATURED MEMBERS: Tolu Ayorinde Lori Allen-Bauer Esther Marie Caponigro Nori Cerny anne cognato Tove Hasselriis Abrams Karen Jakubowski Norma Malinverno LuAnn Palazzo Patricia Pepe-Clark Kelly Powell Bernice Rausch Betty Vaz Dawn Votapka
