Know your event objective. If the aim of the event is to educate people then the entertainment is not the key element of the event.

He is one of the best singers whose songs become very popular and he has great fan
Each one of Colin Grant’s oil paintings offer the viewer a grand yet delicate mystery. Painted on canvases as large as four feet high, Grant’s work is bursting with big statements. The colors alternate between vivid brights and sensual jewel tones, and big swaths of space are covered with vigorous, impassioned brush strokes. Within these broad statements, animals, plants, and architecture are rendered with intricate photorealistic details. The tension between the large and small elements is where the images truly come alive. Grant describes his most recent work as an inquiry into the intersection of “two worlds, the visible and the invisible.” This is evident in the way he layers recognizable subjects – a deer, a bird, a marble column, a leaf – with fields of pure color and texture. Both the representational images and the atmospheric passages overlap and act as half-seen hints; there is clearly much beneath the visible surface. Grant was born in Braidwood, New South Wales, Australia and today lives in Canberra, Australia’s capital city. He has participated in both group and solo exhibitions around Australia.

This small, concentrated group represents the many ways of paying attention to detail - in portraiture, in landscape, even in non-representational works. Three of the included artists are interested in setting the scene for us. One paints the terrain from a traditional distant viewpoint, but his images are gauzy and stylized: one city skyline appears as pure black on gray, looming through a fog, while another has buildings that resemble a family of brightly colored giants. The other two landscape painters give us street-level scenes, one depicting a vibrant watercolor world of sea sides and fishermen, the other offering rich, hyper realistic urban streets in oil. In both, the essence is of the moment. The exhibit’s abstract artist creates beautiful, understated textures with her acrylic, often in monotone to make the patterns sing all the more. The mixed-media portraits are premier examples of character studies: unapologetically unique women depicted in both traditional and non-traditional contexts.
