Sometimes great art is about the natural way people come together to celebrate a friend and their love for them. They bring food, memories and show how much they care by just showing up and being nice. You can create a collage of people from different backgrounds and talents.
Above is an image from Los Angeles artist Michiko Noble's birthday party. For over 40 years she has helped many Japanese people immigrating into Los Angeles feel welcome to the city of the angels. Giving helpful advice on anything from the best deli to the most delicious desserts, to finding a place to live, she's inspired many people coming into a new place to see it through the eyes of an artist.
Mrs. Noble was trained in Japan as a painter and is diverse in her ability to draw and paint in many styles. She attended Art Center in Pasadena, CA and taught art in her early years in L.A. Below are examples of her work as well as her amazing series of horse illustrations.
