When life is a cabaret

The enduring lure of the sea

Every picture tells a story, don’t it?

by

It’s hard to keep up in conversation with Nathan Lewis, painter and associate professor of art at Sacred Heart University. The slouchy sensibility of a skateboarder with black cap, black turtleneck-T and blue denim pants with red stitching belies what’s ticking in his skull. (Think Nietzsche, Trump, privileged white male, cellphone culture, literature, #MeToo movement, science, philosophy and, oh yes, narrative painting. And then he’s riffing on Ovid’s “Apollo and Daphne.”)

Private and cozy

by

Everything old is new again in this intimate, completely renovated Indian Chase property, which hasn’t been on the market in a half-century.
