Coweta arts tidbits The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz, 770-583-3258 schultzf_2002@yahoo.com July 10, 2006 "Black Pearl" Painting Displayed at Gallery Row In Art Auction on E-Bay James Laurent of Newnan is a man of many talents. I first met him at a meeting of the Coweta Writers Group. Later I learned he was also a singer and musician, when I heard him and his wife Sybil, perform, last year, at one of the “Coffee House Performing Arts Variety shows”, held in, “The Newnan Theatre lobby”, which was fixed up to look like a coffee house. Later that year he and Sybil gave several performances at a real coffee house-- the brand new Gallery Row Coffee Shop on the Courthouse Square in Newnan. And later yet I learned he was a painter and a member of the Newnan-Coweta Art Association (NCAA). And now I learn that he has an interesting painting hanging on the wall of Gallery Row, which is a part of the July exhibit of NCAA artists. Amazingly, since he has been working on this painting for 1+ year, he completed it just in time to coincide with the film premiere of Pirates of The Caribbean. The subject of the painting is a realistic and gorgeous rendition of the ship made famous (or is it infamous?) by that film, the Black Pearl!! Laurent promises, though, that there is no curse attached to his painting! But there could be a treasure involved… Today, I, (James), Am Involved With Many New Works And Studies, Including New Designs, And MIT Open Courseware, Where I Am Studding; Quantum Physics, Sacred Geometry, Psychology & Neuroscience, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Physics Of Music, Also On My Own Electron Color Manipulation Art, And Computer Art, That I Designed In The Early 90s, (And Am Still Working On). Also Working On My Glow In The Dark Painting, (Art) And Fingernail Polish That I Invented In The Early 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF5TDmXPYWQ&t=57s Studies In CHI, Reiki, Ancient, And Future, Earth History… Belongs To, “ “Berklee Performance Center”, “MIT Open Courseware”, “Radio Airplay”, “Folk Alley”, “BMI”, “ SoundExchange”, “Club Passim”, “”, “Corner Arts Gallery”, “ “Bandsintown.com” “Academia.edu” ” BandMix.com” “Tunecore.com” “Internetdj.com” “Slacker.com” “SoundCloud.com” “HouseMixes.com” “Jango.com” “Dittomusic.com” “us.napster.com” “. daportfolio.com”, “youtube.com” facebook.com/ZombieChicTees” “facebook.com/silverleos” “Tramolious/ Facebook.com” “facebook.com/RestlessSpirit1” “upwork.com” “thisnext.com/by/RestlessSpirit” “http://indiemusicpeople.com/artist.aspx?id=90063” ”plus.google.com/u/0/” “jango.com/music/Restless+Spirit?l=0” “amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Restless%20Spirit%2C%20Boston%20Tracks” “amazon.com/gp/product/B00E61PH5M? ie=UTF8&refRID=0P7BBHMFTD9RFVP36VH1&ref_=pd_rhf_se_p_img_1” “http://indiemusicpeople.com/iac_test2_dev/index3.html?ID=A90063&SongID=54897&Source=Artist_90063_Single” “https://www.onerpm.com/#/disco/profile&artist_number=967319609” “http://silverleos.blogspot.com” ”plus.google.com/104567381989352550847” “http://qualitycanvasphotos.com/” “vimeo.com/user694709/videos” “aboutme.google.com/u/0/#profile_photo” “vimeo.com/137412610” By: James Laurent © 2018
