Palm Tree-riffic Artwork For Summertime!

When the Berlin-based art historian and curator, Robert Grunenberg, was at 'Art Basel' (*an art show in Miami Beach), he noticed that there were over 60 artworks at the fair that referenced palm trees. He returned to Berlin and spent months researching the religious and cultural history of the palm in Western art, and the role it continues to play today in fashion, social media, and ecological preservation.

“The palm tree has become the symbol for California as this paradise on earth, the symbol for the American dream,” Grunenberg said, noting that the palm, which was originally imported to the U.S. from Mexico in the 20th century and has a 150-year life expectancy, is slowly dying out in California. If you've ever joined us for a class, or even perused our calendar for that matter, you're likely to notice the same things: That we offer palm tree artwork all of the time!

The palm branch is a symbol of victory, triumph, peace, and eternal life originating in the ancient Near East and the Mediterranean world.

WE LOVE THEM for their bold colors and shapes, as well as the peace and serenity they represent. Vacations, tropical island views, beach days, and paradise… That’s what we think when we see the majestic palms, and they’re a lot of fun to paint! Grab some friends and join us for one of the many tropical, beachy palm tree paintings on the calendar this month… AND be sure to watch the calendar as we’re always offering palm artwork (year-round!), especially this time of year!
