Here is a collection of some more photos of the beautiful California that I live in. It is truly a wonderful part of the world to live in. Most people only get to visit.

The New Studio Easel

Rich Brimer — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:47:47 +0000

Today I got a new studio easel. It is by “BEST” and its the “O’Connell” model. I took a nice drive out to Continental Art Supplies on Reseda Blvd. in the VW Beetle. I was only planning on getting a couple of new brushes and some of new tubes of paint that is missing on [...]

I’m Free

So, after four and a half years of working for the world’s largest bio-tech company, Amgen… I have been set free from their employment. In another restructure, a few of us have been “reduced” and we will find our way forward. I am glad for my tenure there. I learned much about the corporate [...]

High Studio

Wander and Wonder

Wander and Wonder

Paradise Valley (Il Paradiso) near Assisi, Italy

One of my favorite things is to watch emerging “Aha!” moments. Whether it is a moment in myself or in another fellow human, being around when the “Aha!” hits is wonderful. It’s like turning a dark corner on a rainy country road, to suddenly see a [...]
