The 32nd annual Fakes & Forgeries exhibit at Spring Bull Gallery in Newport opened this week and will continue until February 26th.

32nd Annual Fakes & Forgeries is an exhibit of artistic reproductions or creative interpretations of the old and new masters.

Juror Natalie Featherston says, “What an honor it was to be chosen as the juror for the 32nd Annual Fakes and Forgeries show this year. It was an incredibly difficult task to choose only a handful of pieces for awards out of such a stellar show. Seeing all the ways contemporary artists were inspired by the masters made this a very special exhibition. I wish I had another dozen or so awards to share to recognize all the wonderful work represented here.”

The Spring Bull Gallery, is located at 55 Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, Wednesday to Monday from noon to 4pm.

Best in Show

Juror’s Comment on Best in Show – “Sunlight” – “This is such a stunning painting- it literally lights up the gallery and one is drawn to it immediately. The color palette and paint handling are evocative of Benson’s pastel work, even though different mediums. The execution is top notch-beautiful and sensitive lines in the drawing capture the same gesture as the original.” – Natalie Featherston

Charles Clear – “Sunlight” after Frank Benson – Oil, 30.25″x17″ – $3,500

The Netherlands is renowned for its cheese, windmills, and tulips, but have you ever come across a cow farm exclusively dedicated to raising cows that produce special eggs? That’s correct, you heard it correctly: eggs from cows! Located in the һeагt of the Netherlands, this ѕtгапɡe cow farm is unlike any other. Rather than raising cows for milk, meаt, or even cheese, they specialize in breeding cows that lay special eggs. These eggs are not like the ones you see in the supermarket, they are much larger and have a thicker shell, making them more durable. The idea of raising cows for eggs may seem ᴜпᴜѕᴜаɩ, but it’s not as сгаzу as it sounds. In fact, cows that lay eggs are not a new concept. The practice originated in Indonesia in the early 20th century and has since spread to other parts of the world, including the Netherlands. The cows on this farm are carefully bred to produce these special eggs, which are then ѕoɩd to local markets and restaurants. They are also popular amo

While this broadcast was only available to those who owned a color-ready TV, it was the first step to changing everything. TV first started being experimented
