    logo_mcleanmeditationSedona AZ (October 23, 2013) – The public is invited to enjoy an inspiring collection of paintings by Sedona fine artist Peter K. Nelson at a reception for him on Friday, November 1st. Guests will meet the artist and be treated to refreshments at the McLean Meditation Center from 5:00 -8:00 pm. The reception coincides with Sedona’s First Friday Gallery Tour.

    Guests will delight in Peter K. Nelson’s exquisite technique and luminous interpretations of the Native American and the High Desert. ‘Eternal Spirit’ is a one-man show featuring his most recent body of work including oil paintings and watercolors inspired by the photographs of Edward S. Curtis, a North American Indian photo historian (1868 – 1952), as well as his own en plein air oil paintings which capture the play of light and beauty of the landscape near his home and studio twelve miles west of Sedona inside the Coconino National Forest.

    Born in New England, Peter has been an Arizona resident since 1980. Every summer he travels to paint at Monhegan Island, an artist enclave off the coast of Maine. Peter’s watercolor painting, ‘Low Tide, Sunset’, appears in the book, The Art of Monhegan Island, by Carl Little.

    In Arizona, Peter’s work was first exhibited at the Northern Arizona Watercolor Society show in the spring of 2007. His painting, ‘Monhegan Clapboard’ received the juror’s award and his painting ‘Tomato’ received an award of merit. In February, 2008, his painting, ‘The Golden Table’ won an award at the Sedona Arts Center member’s show. In 2012, Peter’s painting, ‘Desert Life’, received honors at the SAGA, Best Artists of Sedona show. Peter’s work has been purchased by the U.S. State Department for the permanent collection.

    Sarah McLean director of the McLean Meditation Center says, “Peter is an investor’s artist. He is destined to become one of the recognized painters of our time. We are pleased to present his most recent works and truly excited to have Peter join us for First Friday.” His paintings will be exhibited through the month of November.

    The McLean Meditation Center is located in the heart of Sedona, upstairs from the Garland’s Collector’s Room, at 411 State Route 179, at the junction of Schnebly Hill Road. Visitors will enjoy refreshments and a bird’s eye view of the red rock landscape and towering cottonwoods that line Oak Creek from its second-story windows.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
