Painters descend on Estes for Plein Air By Martin Janssen For the Reporter-Herald
The beauty of art is that it invokes a sense of living within its patrons. Emotion, reflection and contemplation are routinely inspired by splotches of paint on canvas. The problem with this inspiration, though, is that it usually happens at arm’s length, as the gallery is a few steps removed from the artistic process.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD
Michael Fernandes caused a commotion in June with his exhibit in Halifax, Nova Scotia: a banana on a windowsill. The artist priced the work at $2,500. In fact, Fernandes changed the banana every day -- eating the old fruit and replacing it with a progressively greener specimen to demonstrate the transitory nature of the banana. "We humans are also temporal," he wrote, "but we live as if we are ...

We're bringin' it back to Tobacco Road
Festivals in Miami are usually of enormous proportions -- and prices.
