Chic trendy DUMBO, the down-under-the-Manhattan-Bridge section of the Borough of Brooklyn in New York City, leads the way in the transformation of sections of Brooklyn into some of the most desireable neighborhoods in NYC. Located along the waterfront and Brooklyn Bridge Park resplendent with Jane's Carousel, it is the ideal subject matter for an equally chic and trendy pop art style landscape painting. Seemingly bent out of shape and reconfigured, DUMBO is no more than a bridge away with all of it's upscale boutiques, restaurants and cafes. The rainbow sky simply reiterates the dream come true that this neighborhood represents to so many! Raised in New York, artist Jim Twerell...

Visione Mistica, Mystical Vision, is an introspective, contemporary, original oil painting reminiscent of the 1960s, resplendent with explosive colors and imagery that commands both attention and consideration. The 36x48 scale of the dynamic landscape, combined with the magical reds, could carry any neutral room that's calling for a pop of joy and color! The artist has gallery wrapped this contemporary work of art on a stretcher with a 1.5" return to keep a transitional, open feeling throughout the painting. Alternately, it could be framed if you prefer a larger overall size for your space. Artist Dmitri Wright is the Director of the Weir Farm National Historic Site Art Academy where he teaches art in addition to teaching at the venerable Florence Griswold...

Saffer II launched his career by exhibiting his art at a public art show at the tender age of six. Upon graduation from Temple University in 1965, he traveled to Paris, France to enroll in graduate economics courses. Concurrently, HM's path took a different twist, as he soon leveraged his musical talent performing with notable French stars Hugues Aufray, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, and many others. He was later hired by Barclay Records as a producer, and had several hit records in 1968 and 1969. During this period, he was also the chef / owner of two restaurants in Paris, and later a third located in Ibiza, Spain.

HM continued on with his music career in the United States at Warner Brothers Productions where he co-wrote the international hit song, "Look What They Done To My Song, Ma", recorded by Ray Charles, Melanie and other performers. While at Warner he painted a forty foot mural in their Madison Ave., NY headquarters and exhibited his works in the firm's lobby. In 1972 HM was hired by the dynamic songwriter/producer Bob Crewe as Senior Vice President for the Crewe Group of companies where he worked with the industry's top names including Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Vicki Carr, and Oliver. Later that year, he established HMS Two Music Ltd. and spent his time writing and producing music for films, commercials, recordings and Broadway productions.
