Preview: Brigid Marlin From 'Art of the Fantastic'

Check out this gorgeous piece that you can see in person on display at Queensborough Community College.

will have a collection of forty nationally and internationall recognized artists who work within the Visionary genre.

The exhibit will be on display from July 12 through September 20.

Their works are predominantly paintings, but are in all mediums. They follow the Mische technique.

"These artists embrace dreams, visions and their personal inner life, in all forms to create imaginative works of art that are rich and seeping with passion," according to an exhibit spokesperson. Today's featured piece is "The Rod," by Brigid Marlin, founder of The Society for Art of Imagination.

"'The Rod' represents a time when I felt depressed at the world we live in," said Marlin, adding;

It seemed all about fighting and horror. Water is a symbol of truth, and there was no water in the desert. But then I found that if we walk through the desert of unknowing there is a higher, spiritual world on a different level, and there we can find truth.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
