Richard Morse Allen Almost or maybe sixteen years ago, Richard Morris Allen and Richard Allen Morris were scheduled to have a two-man show at the Santos-Dumont Aerostation of Art in a hangar at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, California. The hangarlord got downwind of the underground but not airworthy gallery, and aborted the operation. A third Morris has been added to the highly virile, volatile and inflammatory mixture and the show rescheduled and relocated to the Flash Online Gallery. It is now ready for your hands-on take-off and inspection. Happy landing.

A very limited and exclusive group of artists and designers have found the palette to be an interesting subject for their work and products. I have collected a modest number of their endeavors and present them now for your enjoyment. If I have neglected to include your work in this collection, please send the images to me and they will be added to this distinguished catalog. It may be interesting to note that The Royal Academy in London has a collection of real painter's palettes ranging from Reynolds to Sargent and the Salamagundi Club in New York City has a collection of its deceased members' palettes.

 Leonard KnightAfter working five years in Nebraska building a hot air balloon, Leonard Knight in 1986 drove to Slab City, three miles east of Niland, California, to make one final attempt to fly the craft. The balloon hugged the ground, too large to have "slipped the surly bonds of Earth." Leonard Knight stayed on at the site, living in a converted truck without electricity, phone or heat, and began creating a fantastic mound of dirt, adobe and paint. Several years ago he began constructing an abstract representation of his hot air balloon, which is the focus of this one-man show. For materials he is using adobe, bales of hay, tires, salvaged auto glass, parts of dead trees and acrylic paint. The fantastic structure is located just south of his grand and monumental Salvation Mountain. The first time I met Leonard Knight and visited Salvation Mountain, he gathered-up his visitors at the Calipatria Airport (about 15 miles south of Niland) in one of his infamous and famously decorated trucks. Upon our return to the airport, for the first time in his life, Leonard flew in a single-engine airplane and handled the controls between take-off and landing, on a flight over his fantastic mountain. Leonard Knight can be contacted at Box 298, Niland, California 92257.
