New Arrival! Fany Mares - "Wildflowers and Cardinal", 24 x 20", acrylic on canvas. Given our status as a birding haven, seeing a cardinal perched on a tree limb in the Rio Grande Valley is not uncommon. But when you spot one, one must always stop and appreciate. Fany Mares' artwork puts the widely loved bird in a whimsical setting of vibrant, colorful wildflowers which adds to the overall bright and uplifting feeling this painting exudes. It's currently on display and available for purchase at Nuevo Santander Gallery. #contemporaryart #texasartist #acrylicart #southwestartist #nuevosantandergallery #texasartgallery #riograndevalley #mcallenartists #cardinal #cardinalart #birdpainting #birdpaintings

"Before the Branding" by Chad Poppleton, 22 x 40", oil on panel. As a member of Cowboy Artists of America, Chad's passion for both art and the outdoors goes back as far as he can remember. Spending time on the farm and ranch with his father and grandfather, learning how to see with an artist's eye and observing the behaviors of the animals was instrumental to his future path as an artist. For this painting, Poppleton's excellent composition deftly conveys movement to a memorable effect. This painting is on display and available for purchase. Call or message us with any inquires. #nuevosantandergallery #texasartgallery #cowboyartists #cowboyartistsofamerica #ranchlife #ranchlife #horseriding #westernart #westernartist #westernartwork

🎨 This week in art class, our young artists studied the bold and beautiful macaw—known for its vibrant feathers and striking presence. They explored color blending, feather textures, and how to bring this tropical bird to life on paper. I was happy to hear them say, texture as they added oil pastels to the tempera paint.

That Cut article on “Ugly Cakes” hit a nerve. I’m a small baker, and yes — I make cakes that are bold, nostalgic, sparkly, a little wild. And guess what? People love them. I love them. Not everything has to be sleek or minimal to be beautiful. Some of us find joy in the loud, the quirky, the over-the-top. And that joy? It’s real. It’s valid. And it deserves respect. So no — I’m not baking for Instagram likes. I’m baking for people who want to feel something when they celebrate. I’m baking for joy, whimsy, and wonder — especially when the world tries to make us feel small. ✨ Just because someone at The Cut said cakes like mine are “ugly” doesn’t make it true. I’m not baking for algorithms or aesthetics. I’m baking for JOY. For big feelings. For people who light up when they see a cake that’s bold, nostalgic, sparkly, or just a little bit weird — because that’s what makes it beautiful. You don’t have to get it. But you also don’t get to shame it. This isn’t a trend to me — it’s art. It’s therapy. It’s a love letter to the people who still believe in celebration. So yeah… let people eat cake. Especially the weird, wonderful ones. 💖 — Berta Buggs #LetPeopleEatCake #BertaBuggs #NotTooMuch #UglyCakeClub #MaximalistMagic #JoyIsThePoint
