April 22 is EARTH  DAY. Everyday is an opportunity to think  about your individual impact and contribution to the planet’s environment. We all make a difference but it is a choice as to whether it a difference toward goodness or harm. 

Allan Berman was born in San Francisco in 1942 and through the years has become well known for his realistic portraits, trompe L'oeil still lifes, and wildlife paintings. Allan has gained national and international recognition as one of America's premier pastel artists.                   Due to his studies under the late modern day master, Roberto Lupetti, Allan is able to combine his gift of realistic portrayal with techniques of the classical masters to create unforgettable images. Allan has always strived to make his work look real, and his goal for better than life reality is apparent in his stunning images of Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. His unique perspective on nature brings a fresh new quality to landscape photography.
