1. Circle Play – I’ve been watching artist, Cyndi Agathocleous’ art evolve over the last two years. Her latest geometric abstracts are some of my favorites.
2. With a thankful heart – Congratulations to Teresa Cowley!! Her portrait, Angela, was accepted into the Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists, “Faces of Winter 2012” Exhibition!
Technology – a wonderful thing. With the invention of microchips, circuit boards, and digital data – artistry took a high-tech step to a new realm. It opened creative doors with another way to express ones artistic nature. Who knows what will be the next outlet for our creativity – anyone care to guess?

A cool breeze on a warm day. Hitting all green lights on your way to work. A dollar found on the street. It’s amazing that the simplest things can make us happy. What brings a smile to your face?

As always don’t forget to check out EBSQ’s fabulous art galleries for more “Happy” art.
As children they amaze and bewilder us. Then school tells us how and why they happen. As adults they still bring a sense of awe and wonder. Take a moment and think back to the last time you saw a rainbow, click your heels three times and say “R-O-Y-G-B-I-V”.
Whether you dream of spectacular Mermaids who tempt you with their beauty, or dark vixens who pull you down to the dark depths; they have been a part of the world’s folklore since time began. They have been the subject of many a work of art along the years including over 100 pages at EBSQ from just as many artists. Here are a few highlights from Team EBSQ this week that are available for sale:
Green. From the natural patina of copper, to the tiniest bits of chlorophyll it is a color that has long symbolized nature and growth. It’s part of our culture: Green with envy, Greenbacks, Going Green, Green M&M’s, Green Thumb, Green Room, and Greenhorn, just to name a few. What does “Green” mean to you?
Splashes of color, seemingly haphazard lines – skewed perspectives, and unusual textures. Yes you guessed it: Abstract Art! This week’s artists include: Dawn Hough Sebaugh, Kris Carlson, and Diane Casey.
Pears have inspired our tastebuds and creativity for lifetimes over. Unique in many ways texture, shape, color, taste, and scent. How one approaches the art of the pear is just as diverse. From the play of color and shape, to texture and contrasts; each of the following works of art is just as distinctive.
