In an expansion of their range, local artists Neil Jenkins (right) and Donna Elliot (left) of Peakdancers Art traveled on Nov. 7 to Century Books, Pasadena, to launch their book “Three Perspectives.” The book signing and art exhibition, held with their co-author and lifelong friend Donna Gale (center), was the culmination of more than three years work in which the artists each reproduced the same scene in different media. Gale’s intricate ink drawings, Jenkins’ watercolor washes and Elliot’s digital images each captured the same subject, all taken from the world famous Huntington Botanical Gardens. The book is an example of how different views and perspectives show that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Both their book and their artwork will be on exhibition and for sale at Century Books until Nov. 21. Photo courtesy Donna Elliot
