ARTvision Offers: "Little Boy Blue" by Rob O'Connor

(ATLANTA :: 18 Dec. 2008) As my high-tech partner in crime and best friend for nearly 15 years, Rob O’Connor joins ARTvision with “Little Boy Blue.” We offer this piece for $175.

While on vacation with the entire family in North Carolina, Rob captured this private moment of his nephew Stewart as he went off on his own to scope out the beach. Notice the long shadow of the afternoon and the crash of the waves in the distance.

ARTvision Offers: "Translucent" by Mary Pollock

Mary Pollock, my dear young mother, joins ARTvision with the limited edition “Translucent” - a story of color and texture set in a gorgeous gold-leaf frame. (read more)

This piece has hung in my home for about 15 years... she and I both decided together to offer “
Translucent” for ARTvision and for the benefit of Positive Impact. A second as-yet-unnamed piece will be offered for ARTvision 2009 - so this is the first of two for the limited edition.

Take a look at “
Translucent,” which we offer buyers for $800. - WP

ARTvision Offers: "Patience" by Will Pollock

While on a photography walk with Rob O'Connor in Provincetown this summer, I stumbled across this scene where a Golden Retriever was patiently awaiting his owner's return.

With the front door slightly ajar, the toy left alone at the dogs foot and an empty rocker next to him, the picture seems to epitomize patience. A quality that, let's face it, Triscuit could
learn a thing or two from. The reflection in the door window shows that life goes by while the pup calmly waits...

"
Patience," photo mounted on art canvas, is offered at $395 in a limited ARTvision run of 3. One has already been printed and the second two are available upon request. (see slideshow)

This piece will be on display on New Year's Eve, too. More to follow soon!
