And Then They Danced by Cassandra Barney
“If there is no opposition, nothing to push against, we would merely
float. If that was the case, how would we grow?” begins Cassandra.
How can we know joy if we never know pain? “We all have our issues
to contend with and it is through that conflict that personal growth
is found. Reward comes from engaging in challenges, finding
solutions and learning endurance.”
At the same time, is it necessary that this
process of resolving has to be a fight? By changing our perspective,
could we see those challenges another way? What if instead of
fighting through life, we dance?
And Then They Danced is a painting about
finding beauty in the battle. The figure chooses this dance, aware
and onstage, sharing her conquest and what she is to gain.
“Bullfighting is traditional, dangerous and potentially beautiful
but cruel. If I were a matador, I would rather dance. I would turn
that fight into something beautiful."

Since we first walked erect, it has been a
conviction of mankind that in some fashion, someone, something, has
inhabited the heavens. The Space Race itself was as political as it
was strategic, yet at its soul, what captured the hearts and minds
of the world at large was the possibility of coming one step closer
to answering the question stirring within us all for millennia “Is
anyone out there?”
40 years ago, on November, 14, 1969, Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean,
with fellow Apollo 12 astronauts, Commander Charles “Pete” Conrad
and Command Module Pilot Richard Gordon, left Earth for the Moon.
Five days later on Nov. 19th, Bean stepped off the lunar module
Intrepid and onto the Moon’s Ocean of Storms and became the fourth
human to walk on another planet. Yet for all the training, for all
the data, for all the simulations and discipline, one of the
simplest and most human of questions came to his mind, “Is anyone
out there?”
We did send an artist to the Moon and it is no small matter of pride
that we are able to call him a member of The Greenwich Workshop
Family of Artists. Alan Bean paints the Apollo missions from a
perspective no other can: as one who has been there. His paintings
were on display in a one-man exhibition at the Smithsonian Air and
Space Museum in Washington, D.C. Is Anyone Out There? was a center
piece of the exhibit and perhaps its most commented upon painting.
We selected it to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Alan Bean’s
lunar flight because it epitomizes that simple thought that took man
to the Moon, “Is there anybody out there?”
At 40” x 30”, the commemorative MasterWork™ Fine Art Giclée Canvas
is the largest reproduction we have offered of Alan Bean’s artwork.
It is set at an edition of 69 to commemorate the year he set foot on
the Moon. A Fine Art Paper Giclée edition is set at 244 pieces, the
duration, in hours, of the Apollo 12 mission from lift-off to
landing. Both editions are personally signed by astronaut,
moonwalker and the first artist on another world, Captain Alan Bean.
Too often, the opportunity to possess a piece of history passes us
by. Going to the Moon will stand as one of mankind’s greatest
accomplishments: that first giant step into the heavens. Twelve men
have gazed back the quarter-million miles to the Earth from the
surface of Moon. And only Alan Bean, through his paintings of the
Apollo program, can place us there beside him.

“This girl’s eyes are open to experience
but, like other teenagers, the things she cares most about are
happening inside of herself,” says artist James Christensen.
“There’s a veil between who she is now and the woman she will become
with maturity. She’s not conscious of the angel watching over her. I
think that there are layers in this painting, both literally, as
with the veil, and metaphorically,” says James Christensen. “The key
to it, though, is that we are all watched over.”
Angel Unobserved,
a Christensen gem in the tradition of Sleeper Lost in
Dreams and Men and Angels,
combines beauty and mystery in an affordable fine art edition from
one of the most collected artists painting today.

The Swilcan Bridge - The 18th Hole of
the Old Course, St. Andrews Links by Linda Hartough
The golf world’s penultimate landmark—The Swilcan Bridge crossing
the Swilcan Burn on the 18th Hole of The Old Course at St.
Andrews—marks the first time that Linda Hartough has focused her
considerable talents on both an historic structure and a
breathtaking course landscape.
From Old Tom Morris and Wille Park, to Jack
Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, the Swilcan Bridge has come to represent
the crowning moment of each Open Championship played at The Old
Course. As the player crests the Swilcan Bridge and pauses to
acknowledge the spectators, flashbulbs erupt and the images resonate
across the world and into golf history.
Hartough’s unique perspective transcends a mere photograph to
capture not only this hallowed stone bridge, but also the intrinsic
beauty of the Village of St. Andrews. With the Royal & Ancient
Clubhouse looming majestically in the background, this Swilcan
Bridge painting is sure to become one of Linda’s most iconic works.

2010 U.S. Open Championship, The 9th
Hole, Pebble Beach Golf Links by Linda Hartough
Renowned for its storied past and ocean front setting, Pebble Beach
Golf Links will host the U.S. Open for the fifth time in 2010. With
this fine art limited edition, renowned golf landscape artist Linda
Hartough has painted what the official Pebble Beach website refers
to as “truly the most difficult hole on the course.” However, its
difficulty is tempered by the spectacular setting and recent course
enhancements under the direction of Arnold Palmer.
“When I look at a golf hole,” says artist Linda Hartough, “I have to
see what players like about it—how a golfer plays it. Then I see it
as landscape—as a work of fine art.” This print is remarqued with a
sketch of the hole, the official 2010 US Open logo and the official
USGA logo. Hartough’s original paintings are in the private
collections of Jack Nicholaus, Robert Trent Jones and Rees Jones
among other greats of the game. Enliven your office or home with
this signed and numbered fine art edition of the most famous
location in golf, by the best artist of the subject. MuseumEdition™

Beach Golf Links became the first public-access course to host a
U.S. Open. In 2010, it will host the U.S. Open for a fifth time.

American Horse, Oglala Sioux chief, is a
study of adaptability. Although born on the Northern Plains, he
became an American citizen when he was 67 years old. He fought
brave battles for his people, but when he was 27 years old, led the
battle for his people in peace. He had five wives, including the
daughter of war chief Red Cloud, but when only one living wife
remained, joined the Episcopal church. He rode beside great chiefs
in battle, including Red Cloud and He Dog, then rode briefly in
Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. He fought against the invaders of his
land, then traveled to Washington, rode down Pennsylvania Avenue and
took part in treaty delegations. He lived free on the land he loved,
then spent half his life on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
"As I was researching American Horse, I
found, once again, how easy it is for me to embrace the nobility,
love of land and the rights of people, peace and loyalty of the
Native American spirit. I see the same qualities in those who have
chosen to serve today and feel that they, too, are our leaders for
tomorrow."

Artist Stephen Lyman was inspired by wildlife and wilderness and
nowhere more than in his beloved Yosemite Park. There, he could
climb the highest point of a crest at 11,860 feet and feel seated on
a throne in a place where the universe seemed upside down, as though
gravity were irrelevant and the sky around him became an ocean. No
wonder Lyman’s muse, naturalist and conservationist John Muir, said
that from these heights in Yosemite he loved nothing more than to
dip his head into the sky.
“On an off-trail backpacking trip, after a steep, strenuous climb up
what I thought was the side of the mountain, the rock suddenly
dropped away into space and I realized I was on a ridge,” said
artist Stephen Lyman. “That experience was the inspiration for this
painting. The mountain goats are surveying the expanse of a clearing
storm from the ‘end of the ridge.’”

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Christian missionaries
had been in China for several hundred years, which meant that many
Chinese immigrants had encountered Christianity before they ever set
foot on American soil. Women and children were known as “easy
believers” by missionaries and two children devote their attention
to the preacher in this image while other Chinese, particularly men,
gather above decks to talk and smoke among themselves.
The exquisite paintings of award-winning artist Mian Situ provide an
evocative window into a point in history when the collision of East
and West impacted the future not only for the immigrants, but for
both cultures. Journey of Hope and Prosperity
is Artist Mian Situ’s third major Chinese immigrant painting
portraying the onboard ship experience. (Previous Greenwich Workshop
fine art releases The Golden Mountain—Arriving San
Francisco and Word of God
are both Sold Out at Publisher).
Mian Situ once again showed at the Masters of the American West Fine
Art Exhibition and Sale, at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles
on February 6, 2010. An original painting by Situ recently sold at
auction for over $575,000 but with a Greenwich Workshop canvas you
can afford to bring home the work of this modern-day master.

“There are two different stories to tell about Bowl of
Oats,” begins Morgan. “The first is that even though I
may not paint as many paintings of boys as I do girls, most of my
paintings of children come about in the same fashion. In this case,
I put a cup of milk and a bowl of oatmeal out in front of a little
boy who is about a year and half old. As a parent myself, I have a
pretty good idea of what is going to happen. How that comes about is
entirely up to the child. For me, what they do is simply a matter of
nature.”
“Second, one of the things that I have become highly aware of as an
artist is how completely natural these children are about their
hands and what great poses you end up with as a result. Adults can
be downright weird about them. If I asked you to pose for me right
now, where your hands ended up and how you positioned them would be
a very self-conscious and unnatural process. Kid’s hands end up
exactly where they should be, even when they are not covered in
oatmeal.”
