East meets West - 18th annual Newport Flower Show - Villa 120 Bed&Breakfast Newport RI
In many parts of the world the green jade is a symbol of love and virtue. In ancient China, it was believed to promote wisdom and ensure a long life. That symbol is at the heart of the 18th annual Newport Flower Show.
I went to the Flower Show yesterday and was amazed by the Asian Dragon, made of plant materials by the Preservation Society of Newport County for the recent Boston Flower Show. Dragon are found in mythology and folklore throuhout Asian cultures. In China, dragon lore dates back several thousand years. Typically, the dragon symbolizes imperial power and cntrl over anturl forces, particularly bodies of water, rinfall hurricanes and floods. The Chinese dragon also portends good luck; the huge pearl held in its claw is associated with good fortune, wealth and success.
Hitomi Gilliam, an internationally renowned floral artist, returns to Newport for the 18th annual Flower Show. She will showcase work inspired by Ikebana and Zen appreciation of nature.
Sunday Lectures:

National Museum of American Illustration - 29th June Mary Jane Begin Book Signing - Newport RI Villa 120 Intimate Event Venue
June 7, 2013
'MY LITTLE PONY' BOOK SIGNING BY ACCLAIMED ILLUSTRATOR, EDUCATOR,
& AUTHOR
MARY JANE BEGIN
On Saturday, June 29, 2013, the National Museum of American Illustration will host a book signing by acclaimed illustrator, educator, and author Mary Jane Begin, from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The book signing coincides with an inaugural exhibition of Mary Jane's original illustrations from the newly released My Little Pony book, titled Under the Sparkling Sea.
Mary Jane Begin has twenty-five years of experience as a professional illustrator and notable faculty member at the Rhode Island School of Design. In 2008, she was the first living illustrator to have an exhibition at the NMAI. On that occasion her featured artworks had been created for the 100th anniversary edition of the beloved children's book classic by Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in The Willows, and a Willow Buds prequel series she wrote and illustrated, titled Willow Buds. Also exhibited were books illustrated by Mary Jane such as R is for Rhode Island Red, a retelling of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, A Mouse Told His Mother, and others.
Doubtlessly based upon an impeccable story-telling ability and extraordinary artistic skills demonstrated in her previous works, Mary Jane was selected by Hasbro toys to write and illustrate My Little Pony. The book Under the Sparkling Sea, as the title suggests, is a My Little Pony story with an aquatic theme. Mary Jane does an inimitable job of portraying characters from that well known children's franchise in a setting not commonly associated with ponies. Her bold and intense use of colors in the underwater environment and nuanced depictions of the facial expressions convey the characters' wonderment at the strange and new world they experience. It is a superlative effort, already well received, and is now acknowledged at the NMAI as "a great new classic of children's literature."
Additionally, NMAI offers 3 concurrent exhibitions:
1). The American Muse focuses on the illustrative works of Charles Dana Gibson, Harrison Fisher, Howard Chandler Christy, Walter Granville Smith, James Montgomery Flagg, Albert Beck Wenzell, and others of their colleagues each demonstrating a particular notion of classical female American beauty. Their various popular depictions or interpretations of late 19th and early 20th century beautiful American women include the Gibson Girl, the Christy Girl, the Fisher Girl, Liberty Belles, and many other notable works of that era.
2). Maxfield Parrish: The Retrospective continues due to great popular demand, with works from the Edith Wharton book, Italian Villas and their Gardens, various Edison Mazda works, and other examples from each phase of Parrish's oeuvre. NMAI has in its permanent American Imagist Collection the largest Maxfield Parrish Collection of original artworks extant, including the famous Florentine Fete murals..
3). Howard Pyle and His Brandywine Students features works by Pyle, N.C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, and others of the Brandywine School.
Throughout the NMAI are highlights from our American Imagist Collection. Also enjoy Vernon Court, our Gilded Age mansion, and its unique architectural features, period furnishings, and the American Imagist Sculpture Collection.

It is the first national museum devoted exclusively to American illustration art. Illustration consists of original artwork created to be reproduced in books, magazines, newspapers, and advertisements. 'Golden Age' paintings by such luminaries as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, NC Wyeth, JC Leyendecker, and 150 others are displayed in 'Gilded Age' architecture, creating a unique union of architecture and art - a national treasure. The Museum is administered by the American Civilization Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the goal to present the best possible venue for appreciating the greatest collection of illustration art - the most American of American art.

Newporters fundraising for Guatemalan orphanage - Villa 120 Best Bed & Breakfast Newport RI
Newport long time friends Nick Manson & Paul Marshall decided to head to Central America on a surfing safari last December after recently graduating from college they took off on a five month trip.
One night after three months of hitting the shores of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama the two Rogers High School alumni learned about a fundraiser for a local orphanage - Hogar Rosa de Amor. The home is for children, primarily abused girls, who have been taken from their home by Guatemalan authorities.
On meeting the children they were so moved they decided to beach their boards and spend two weeks volunteering at the orphanage. "They wer so appreciative, and we learned a lot about how they were funded" said Manson. "They were behind on their electric bills. The workers were not getting paid - they were on the verge of being shut down!"
So the two surfing buddies, both bartenders at The Black Pearl, decided to lend another helping hand.
On Sunday they are hosting a fundraiser for orphanage at Cappy's Hillside Cafe, on Memorial Boulevard from 1-5 p.m. The two will tend bar adn all tips and donations will go directly to the orphanage - no middle men to syphon off the proceeds! There will also be a 50-50 raffle.
Lets go an support them!
