SOLD! Update: "Rain of Hope" Earns $500 For PI

Congratulations to John Nickolas of Dallas, Texas, who just donated $500 to Positive Impact... and who scored himself an enhanced version of “Rain of Hope” for his living room wall!

John has a special connection to the photo, which he explains in his
testimonial. “I was with Will when he captured the ‘Rain of Hope’ image,” he says. “I encourage everyone to support PI and keep those you love close to your heart.”

Two of these special-edition printings of “
Rain of Hope” remain - one of which is in stock now. (The second is a special order but can be quickly shipped to the buyer.) Both of the other two are photo to art canvas and are offered at $425. “Rain of Hope” will not be offered again in any subsequent ARTvision events or other showings.

ARTvision Offers: "Awash" by Will Pollock

Awash” is part of a series entitled “The Orchid Forest,” which is a nod to the rustic, mysterious rainforest environs of Costa Rica.

I titled the piece “Awash” because the plant leaves are splashed with spectacular reds, pinks and greens - to the point where the photo appears to be color-managed (it’s not). Happy For more,
visit my artist page.

“The Orchid Forest” - including more close-up orchid compositions as well as a few other Costa Rica-related images - will be on display at
Radial Cafe next month. Watch my Web site for more on this show; 50% of after-cost proceeds for the Radial show will go to Positive Impact. Like all of our other artists, of course, 100% is donated to Positive Impact!

Take a look at the
“Awash” photo album, or go directly to purchase for $395.

SOLD! "Little Boy Blue" by Rob O'Connor to Michele Segre

Congratulations to NYE co-host Michele Segre and Rob O’Connor for the sale of “Little Boy Blue.” (I told you Michele was incomparable.) Laugh

Positive Impact! And plenty of pieces still remain, so put your art-shopping shoes on and start browsing!

“Little Boy Blue” is a photo-to-canvas piece and will be on display on New Year’s Eve, as will many others. Stay tuned for more.

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!
