HERE COMES THE SUN (KING)
When I watch a period film, 16th century France to be specific, I am immediately transported to a time where aesthetics took priority…from gardens, fashion, interiors, carriages and more. JILLIAN LEE’s paintings have the same effect.

TURQUOISE AND MAGENTA
SUZANNE BRIXIUS was five years old when given her first big box of Crayola color crayons. Two beautiful colors shouted out to her, they were named Turquoise and Magenta. She loved the beautiful hues and the exotic names as she fell in love with color that day. Her paintings express the joy that color brings to her life. Sunsets, flowers and M&M’s!

BLUES ABOVE WATER
SCOTTIE MILLER BAND releases Stay Above Water. This Minnesota Blues Hall of Famer has toured with blues icon Bo Diddley. He’s first and foremost a pianist, with a grease-and-grits-slathered approach that suggests an affinity for New Orleans, Memphis, and swampy spots in between.
