Yuri day at the Chabot Space Center, Oakland California

Yuri Gagarin 1934 -1968

Chabot Space Center

On April 12, 2012 it would have been 51 years since Yuri Gagarin successfully orbited the earth and became the first human in space. The flight lasted 108 minutes.

Yuri Gagarin’s achievement kick-started the space race between the US and the USSR. This eventually led to the ultimate goal of landing a man on the moon and successfully returning him to earth.

Coincidentally, I had just finished a large acrylic painting of Yuri sitting in his space craft prior to his historic launch.

To celebrate the anniversary, Chabot Space center in Oakland California had a special one day Yuri Gagarin event and I had the opportunity to display this painting in their beautiful center. See photo of myself, my wife Leia and Yuri.

As a young boy I watched on live TV, all the Apollo missions, including the first lunar landing. This exciting era left an indelible impression that has lasted to this day.

This painting is a one of a collection of images from that pioneer age of space travel.

Some of you might not know that I’m a space enthusiast!

I’m not talking about flying saucers or aliens…no, no NO!

My passion is the early years of NASA, the moon landings and the Apollo years.

I was as a 10 year old boy living in London UK, lucky to have witnessed first hand, the incredible achievements of a golden space era. I watched the moon landing live on tv, and that excitement still inspires me to this day.

Unfortunately the current space program is common place and funds for revival are in dispute. In the 1960s era we had space heroes…Who are our national heroes today?

Recently, I decided to paint my passion and choose this as focus for my art. Now my goal is to create 20 or 30 paintings reflecting significant events during that period.

Save the Cave/The Last Resort

 

David Lee Hoffman, Save the Cave/The Last Resort

Please sign the petition – http://www.thephoenixcollection.com/savethecave

Dear friends, I just finished creating a website for my friend David Lee Hoffman and his wife Bee, who are currently in legal dispute with Marin County. The county is threatening to destroy their beautiful unique property in Lagunitas, Marin, California.

David has hand built all the building structures over the last 40 years using environmental and sustainable methods from the past. Visiting David Hoffman’s property is like a journey to the Far East, a magical experience and an environmental lesson for us to think outside the box.

I would really appreciate if you could visit the website and take a moment to sign the petition of support….he needs all the help he can get.

http://www.thephoenixcollection.com/savethecave/

The website explains everything about the case, including public legal documents, a photo gallery and latest updates. If you only have short time to read the info, just read David’s letter to get the gist.

David Hoffman runs a small tea business from his property selling unique and rare Puerh teas and is featured in a Les Blank documentary called “All in this tea”. Check it out on Netflix.

Many thanks for your support.

Alan Cash

PS I’d be grateful if you could pass this along to any of your friends who might be interested…..Thanks

Installing Love on the Human computer

Just in time for Valentines day…

This is a program we should all download!

INSTALLING LOVE ON THE HUMAN COMPUTER

Customer: I really need some help. After much consideration, I’ve decided to install LOVE. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes, I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready to install it now. What do I do?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART?

Customer: Yes, I have, but there are several other programs running right now. Is it okay to install while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running?

Customer: Let’s see… I have PAST-HURT.EXE, LOW-ESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.EXE running now.

Tech Support: No problem. LOVE will gradually erase PAST-HURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOW-ESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGH-ESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.EXE. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off? Continue reading Installing Love on the Human computer

New WordPress blogging platform

Hey everybody…

The summer is nearly over and I hope you all had a good one.

Recently, I changed my blog over to a WordPress based platform. This is a custom theme that I designed using my existing site style.

I can seemlessly create a WordPress platform interface for you as well as a standard php platform (without WP sidebar functionality)

Call or write to me to discuss more details.

Happy blogging!

Alan

Van Gogh’s Philosophy

Vincent Van Gogh

Van Gogh’s Philosophy

Simple and direct:

  1. Go to the museum as often as you can.
  2. Admire as much as you can; most people do not admire enough.
  3. Take as many walks as you can and keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to learn to understand art more and more.
