✦ If you follow trends, you know that adult coloring books have come into their own in 2015, with their supposed therapeutic benefits widely touted.

✦ Painter Robert Kushner's gorgeous commission Camellias and Cacti, a large installation on transparent fabric, is on view through September 27 in the Atelier at Hakusasonso Hashimoto Kansetsu Garden and Museum in Kyoto, Japan. Five other works on canvas also are being shown in the "Tenderness and Thorns" exhibition. An image of the piece may be seen on Kushner's homepage.
