Pablo Picasso is arguably one of the most recognized artists of our times.  Picasso had two wives and many mistresses.  He loved women. He was notorious for always having a beautiful woman with him.  Behind every artist, there is a muse.

These “muses” greatly inspired his work. His wives, mistresses and various liaisons inspired his artwork.  The women inspired him to create one of the largest bodies of art in history.

The Norton Museum of Art, 1451 South Olive Avenue, West Palm Beach is “celebrating the women who inspired the master artist.”  Jerry Dobrick, museum curator associate for the Norton, describes “Picasso’s Muses” as a small, but poignant exhibit.  The exhibit includes six powerful depictions of Picasso’s lovers during various periods…

The property located at 16133 Jupiter Farms Road in Jupiter has a long history.  It is rumored to have been a gangster hideout in the 1920’s and was owned by legendary actor Burt Reynolds in the 1980’s.  Notorious gangster Al Capone built the original home on the property in 1923.  Reynolds owned the ranch for years and shot scenes from the immensely successful “Smokey and the Bandit” movie, as well as scenes from the television series “B.L. Stryker” there.

Al Capone is said to have built the original home on the property in 1923. Capone was Brooklyn born and he ruled the streets of Chicago.  Capone mostly hung out in Miami, but he did not particularly like it there.  A news report places Capone in Palm Beach County in 1930.  At the time, West…
