 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY My forty five year obsession with Southwest vintage jewelry began with a summer in Albuquerque when I was just a child. On a day trip to Santa Fe, the Indian market in the square showed me a world I never knew existed. I was fascinated by the turquoise jewelry. |
 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY I was always drawn to the older pieces. Jewelry made between 1920 - 1930 has so much soul. The bracelets, rings and necklaces from this period seemed to be inspired by nature. The lack of precise measurement is part of the beauty. It reminds me of an impressionist oil painting, with lost and found edges and blurred lines. |
 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY The random greens from the softer turquoise stones as they accepted oil from wearer is so intriguing and inspiring. I see pure joy when I look at this jewelry. |
 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY Wonderful old pin with interesting pale orange matrix and deep green Cerrillos turquoise. |
 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY Eleven pointed star with oval center stone. Shiny green Cerrillos turquoise. So very pretty! |
 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY Available at my store on Ruby Lane. |

| UCHIZONO GALLERY Saim Caglayan was born in Istabul, Turkey and came to the United States in 1968. Saim has been plein air painting the landscapes of the California desert, coastline and Islands of Hawaii for many years now. In 1966 he founded LPAPA, Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. His goal was to revive the tradition of the early California painters who had lived and painted in Laguna Beach. Today LPAPA has become a vibrant force in the art community of California with an impressive membership from Hawaii to Florida. |
 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY Anza Borrego is a favorite destination for many plein air painters and Saim spends time each year there painting on location. Saim carries on the traditional plein air California impressionist style. He is a dedicated painter. Fish Creek is a favorite spot to paint and camp. The lavender sky contrasts with the muddy orange smoke tree and gives the viewer a timeless feeling. The painting also carries some of the desert with it, there is a fine dusting of sand mingling with the oil paint. Proving it was truly painted in the plein air tradition. |
 |
| UCHIZONO GALLERY Painted on location in San Juan Capistrano for the 2005 LPAPA Invitational exhibit. Available now, at Uchizono Gallery. See the link above for information about Saim Caglayan as well as my online gallery. LAGUNA PLEIN AIR PAINTER ASSOCIATION SAIM CAGLAYAN |

Cynthia Britain is one of five signature members who
co-founded the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association in 1996.
Whether she's painting vistas in Crystal Cove, California's wine country or France's bucolic villages, Britain works with a quick brush stroke, using slow-drying oils. On finely textured linen canvases, she focuses on recording the quality of light with precision a camera can't catch before a scene shifts. Cynthia's intent is to document atmospheric mood.
