16 ART & ABOUT by Lon Michels and Todd Olson VALLEY OF THE ARTS We just came back from a very successful show, in Milwaukee WI, at the Tory Folliard Gallery. The show is titled “Summer In Wisconsin”. These images pictured are just but 2 examples of the work we displayed in this show. On our trip we were also very grateful to visit our lovely Mothers Darlene and Shirley. We sure are glad to be back in the desert though, known now as the “Valley Of The Arts”, heat and all. Also a huge shout out to Juli Ragsdale and Levvy Carriker the Publishers of <strong>LIVE</strong> Magazine for their support of the arts here. When ever we travel we are most happy when we are able to return to our beautiful home, and the Lon Michels Gallery, here in Palm Springs. This summer Lon is working on beautiful paintings of the Joshua Tree National Park and Todd is working on his pool paintings series of Palm Springs Pools. Please stop by the Lon Michels Gallery and experience these new works right before your eyes. Last week before we left Palm Springs, we spent a lovely afternoon with Sean and Lindy. These two wonderful directors have also fallen in love with our beautiful desert. They have spent great efforts in creating a movie which truly showcases the splendor and glamour of Palm Springs.This Indy film titled “Palm Swings” should be released in the next year, and we know all of Palm Springs will be excited to see it. Our featured artist of this issue is Juan-Manual Alonso. Juan is represented at the Jorge Mendez Gallery in the lower part of the Uptown Design District. Juan is a Cuban born artist,with many beautiful stories of growing up as a young child in Cuba. Juan- Manual’s work is bold and beautiful. He paints from his heart, and his work always makes us smile. Imagine a modern day Miro with a Gaudi twist. One of the things we love about Juan, other than his fabulous long hair, is his kindness. Juan is a nice person, funny, and a pleasure to be around. We also recently spent time with him while filming “Palm Swings”, and it was his laughter, and joy at 3 am at glam, fab, Trio Restaurant that made the experience even more exciting. So please look for Juan and many other locals including us, in the upcoming full length film. It has been said that most artists look like their work, and this is true of Juan. He has an incredible flare for fashion and transforms his great style and talent from everyday life to his canvasses. If you are in the Uptown Design District be sure to see his work and many other Latin American artists as well , in the Jorge Mendez Gallery. This man stands 6’ 3” tall and his heart is as big as he is. He is an incredible addition to the “Valley Of The Arts” and we are so very grateful to call him our friend. Please see many of Juan’s work at www.artofjuanmanuelalonso.com/arthtml In closing an unusual phenomenon was experienced in the desert this past week. Residents describe strange liquid in droplet form falling from the sky. Scientists and researchers were baffled, even claiming it could be excretions from extra terrestrials. There were also loud bursts of thundering noises and bright white lights, zooming across the sky. Thank the heavens that our lovely friend Bianca Rae, CBS Local 2 Anchor and Eye On the Desert entertainment reporter, informed us that these droplets were something unfamiliar to us here in the desert, are called rain. Keep the prayers coming for more rain, this will give us a beautiful desert in bloom, and water for all of God’s creations big and small to thrive and enjoy. Stay cool and hydrated we are past the hump of heat of dog days of summer.
