Two Artists capture life in Israel - Alex Levin and Jason Alster

I love the work By Mr Levin from Ukraine . He says he loves the colors in Israel. When I lived in Israel I use to call it an artist's paradise. I would compare the  sunlight paintings in Israel  to that of the darker paintings coming out of Europe. Below and above are links to Alex Levin's art. By the way, my grandmother Anna Neiman,  also came from the Ukraine- a survivor of the Odessa Pogrom.
 Thus, I myself also painted paintings and gave workshops in parks . I use to hold art workshops in the Baron Rothchild Park in Zichron Yacov.
I placed my own paintings in a book I published in Israel " Creative Painting for the Young Artist" . This book was the first art book that I know of that teaches youngsters  topics such as "artistic mode of seeing", "painting critique",  "artist statements" and "dealing with mistakes" . I even just sold a few this week to a pastel art class I taught . A book trailer for Creative Painting is below. However , as I can't say if Steven Spielberg purchased a copy. Maybe he did? :)

On the topic of art, another video I just published is " John Singer Sargent : Secrets of Composition and Design" .
