F1VEart Studio and Gallery would like to introduce Karla Preciado ...and her amazing abstract landscapes. Come join us Saturday, October 12 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a night of art and conversation. "Nature is my greatest muse, an endless source of inspiration that deeply influences my abstract landscapes. The connection between my art and the natural world is not just visual, but emotional and spiritual as well." "When I immerse myself in nature, whether it’s a dense forest, a serene coastline, flowers, or a vast desert, I’m struck by the profound sense of tranquility and joy that these environments evoke. It’s this emotional experience that I strive to capture in my work."

On a dark, windy night, Carlsbad Oceanside Art League artists haunted the kitchen at the North Coastal Art Gallery to whip up a most gruesome abode: the spooky COAL mansion. Is up for grabs from October 1 through October 27 at the gallery. One picked up a pencil and said, “This should be drawn and quartered.” Another grabbed a bewitched brush and said, “I’m going to paint this house, red…. or blue. Well, no, we need the whole spectrum for this.“ Another grabbed a slab of gingerbread and said, “I think my knife is sharp enough.” Another gathered ghastly, green fondant and silently fashioned it into phantasms. When it was complete, they screamed with ardent admiration and said, “What a delightfully dilapidated domicile to display!" Stop in, a must see at the Gallery. Tickets are available at the gallery or online at the North Coastal Art Gallery https://northcoastalartgallery.com/silent-art-auction-by-local-artists/ Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League (North Coastal Art Gallery) on Facebook / Instagram
