UC Berkeley. Noon.
"It’s a grail of contemporary horticulture, a subject of inquiry for scientists and landscape designers alike: how to reinvent the estimated 40 million acres of lawn in the United States, shifting the emphasis toward native plants. The promise? Less environmental damage and more biodiversity."--NYTimes.
The university is already doing this, in a big way. Small patches of lawn, like this one, are small and few.
Faculty of Islamic Studies, Qatar, Doha
The city of Doha, Qatar, is brimming with modern architectural wonders. The Mangera Yvars designed Faculty of Islamic Studies, in Education City, is a stunning example of the synergy of art, culture and architecture. The premise is the Islamic Kulliyyah (كُلِّيَّة), a beacon of enlightenment where all knowledge is sought. The themes of knowledge and light are visible here in the central courtyard, where huge Qur’anic verse adorns the white walls and the two 90m minarets symbolise these tenets.
On Thursday, November 21, UTHealth recognized its exemplary educators, practitioners, and researchers appointed to endowed faculty positions and honored the benefactors who generously established the awards from 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Clusterduck, 2023
Oil and acrylic on panel
16 x 20 in.
On loan from the artist
“Definition of the original vulgar term: a complex and utterly disordered and mismanaged situation; a muddled mess. A clustered, immobile mass of yellow rubber ducks occurs as they attempt to go in different directions but refuse to yield to one another. The image is applicable to many real-life situations.”
Grand Canyon : A personal feeling
Grand Canyon was created on this planet long before human races had evolved. In his early days the supreme creator might have been frustrated in spite of creating all his splendors, for the reason, there was no such species like humans to appreciate all the beauties and truths on this earth. He set his final evolutionary goal. The most intelligent species came into being. They looked at these beauties, stood rapt in awe to feel them by their hearts and reason them by their brain. Thus beauties and truths were revealed on this earth. This was my feeling as I saw Grand Canyon for the first time.
Grand Canyon seemed to me, like a child prodigy sleeping peacefully in his mother’s lap waiting to be woken up by a magic touch. He will share all his mysteries, beauties and truths since his first inception in the mother’s womb. He will never grow old. He will never finish his story ever.
I soon understood that, through its endless showcase of variety, the Canyon magically connects an observer’s mind, to almost all the literal subjects, humans have ever created. It has an immense power to train our body, mind and soul to interrelate different faculties of human intellect in search of a holistic truth.
I wondered, how the supreme sculptor had used his magic chisel to slash a land in endless ravines, so deeply and mysteriously, to create infinite dimensions. The colors of the bare faces of the rocks across different layers, illuminated by daylight, reflect finest pastel colors, delicately applied in an impressionistic mode, as if, by an artist’s invisible spatula. But these are its physical realities only. Grand Canyon is something more than that…
To the best of my experience, this is a place where all human senses intermingle and lose their identity, as one turns quiet and silent for a considerable period of time. From an overview, it seemed to me, as if, a huge number of artists in a group orchestra rearing their heads up in the sky from a mysterious platform. All are spiritual sages, deeply engrossed in creating a symphony. River Colorado glides in-between like the baton of an invisible composer. But with the passage of time, all these physical realities vanished, except one, and only one thing I experienced…
An experience of seeing, hearing, feeling, touching and smelling an inherent beauty of unchained melody, what Grand Canyon is all about.

Cheese and Quackers, 2022
Acrylic on aluminum panel
16 x 20 in.
On loan from the artist
“According to Wikipedia, "cheese and crackers is a common dish consisting of crackers paired with various or multiple cheeses...and is often paired with wine." In this painting, four yellow rubber ducklings (the quackers) explore a traditional still life that contains cheese and crackers. One of the ducklings' flies in the dark red background toward a glass of red wine.”
