You’ve got to love weekends like this. There’s a book festival in the Arts District, a craft festival in Oak Cliff and a tattoo extravaganza where some ink virgin is sure to get a Chinese character stamped on her back, only to find out weeks later it doesn’t translate to…
Nature has always inspired artists to create beautiful works. Claude Monet created approximately 250 different artistic variations of water lilies in his flower garden, and it’s easy to understand why he produced so many of those paintings: Water lilies are undeniably beautiful, unlike, say, the West Texas desert spotted with…
