The Mark Maggiori Art Safari: Look at clouds from both sides. Now!

I'm a huge fan of what I call the "Art Safari" where you travel somewhere to go look at art and experience something creative. In today's episode, I talk about my first ever Art Safari in 2023 to go see some of artist, Mark Maggiori's paintings. He paints epic scenes of the American West.  Related Links: Listen to the episode about my 2024 Glasgow Art Safari [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2194216/episodes/14798893] here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2194216/episodes/14798893 [https://www.jumpinthestream.com/heart-hawk/] Experience "Both Sides Now" [https://open.spotify.com/track/1pjATX7sbd6Y4jMVqIvzHk?si=362fd77debde429f] by Joni Mitchell here: https://open.spotify.com/track/1pjATX7sbd6Y4jMVqIvzHk?si=362fd77debde429f [https://open.spotify.com/track/1pjATX7sbd6Y4jMVqIvzHk?si=362fd77debde429f] Go check out Mark Maggiori's work [https://markmaggiori.com] here: https://markmaggiori.com [https://markmaggiori.com] This is an audio reading of the post "The Mark Maggiori Art Safari: Look at clouds from both sides.
