The Earth Is Blue by Eric Needle, co-founder, curator, Blue Earth Society

Greetings, Bienvenue, and welcome to the Blue Earth Society's online virtual gallery. The BES is an association of fine artists brought together by a common desire to make and exhibit art that is positive. In our rapidly escalating global climate dominated by war, politics and the shadow of impending conflict, we've united to created art that is about life.

Art creates a personal reaction to each work we see. It can bring hope, it can light up a room. It is a language unto itself, crossing boundaries of culture, language and nationality. With a media focused on gloom and doom, daily crimes of violence, intent to sell us the latest fad diet, workout machine and beauty product, we see the role of fine art shifting. Art can renew us. It can focus us on what's really important and ground us back to reality.

Life is universal. Our planet teems with it. Art can build hope and celebrate life, celebrate humanity and it's diversity. Art can motivate and recharge us for another day in the grind.

Explore the different areas of the site. The gallery houses a group show, changing monthly. Artist galleries contain shows and collections of work, some new, some archived from past exhibits. Le Livre Overt is the "Open Book". We record our thoughts, writings and ramblings. It is open to you the reader, to contribute to. The rest is self explanatory. Enjoy the art and contact us if it moves you. Thank you again for visiting us.

What Is Art? by Michael Golub, co-founder, BES

"Painting to me is a very physical means of expression. I get messy and dirty. I scrape and scrawl and struggle with the canvas until a thing of beauty is produced, which stands on its own and has its own life and meaning.

The smell, the texture, the intensity, of paint is like nothing else. I like to climb inside the world of the canvas, the larger the better. Insane."

The Artistic Life By John M. De Marco

Each breaking dawn demands of us the tasks we must accomplish, the problems we must solve, the relationships we must manage.

We need not proactively fill our calendars with many meetings, appointments and errands—life will happily and often subconsciously do so for us. Without intentionally seeking to stem this tyranny of the urgent, the momentary demands of society can gradually erode the remnants of what remains embedded with us: a child’s right and desire to dream, to imagine, to soar. We can gradually lose our appetite for the truth, settling instead for the cheap imitation of what we take to be a fulfilling life because no one else seems to be alarmed by its shallow waters.
