Welcome Back Brenda McMillen to ARTvision

(ATLANTA :: 14 December 2009) If there could be a “veteran” of ARTvision after four short years, Brenda McMillen would be it.

She’s sold at least one piece each and every year we’ve been doing this. “
Heart” sold to John Nickolas in 2006 for $295; “Eternal Sunshine” to David Osborn for $225 in 2007; and “Stand Strong” and “True Colors” sold to Tom Andrews and Positive Impact for $150 and $100, respectively.

When you do that math, Brenda has raised nearly $800 cumulatively over those four years. Please join us in congratulating Brenda on her success!

This year, Brenda offers two more stunners for our beloved beneficiary,
Positive Impact - both involve the Chinese character for “Love.” Titled simply “Love,” the piece is a beautiful, oil-on-canvas in a muted, matte black frame, offered at $175.

Her second piece is a thick-and-chunky yet still diminutive box-gallery canvas, painted on all sides, entitled “
Faith, Hope, Love.” The piece includes a bold, fire-red front with light-cream colored sides. The corresponding Chinese characters appear on the front and either side, right and left. This piece is offered at $195.

For more, please visit
Brenda’s artist page! I think we should already give a shout-out to Brenda for ARTvision 5 in 2010, don’t you think? - WP

ARTvision Offers: "Ladies of a Certan Age" and "Just Before Rush Hour..." by Mary Pollock

(ATLANTA :: 11 December 2009) - One retro, the other abstract. Both beautiful.

And they both come from my mother, Mary Pollock, as donations to ARTvision 2009 for the benefit of Positive Impact. Please consider both of these in your holiday giving! (
see both picture slideshows)

With a bachelor’s from Skidmore College (my alma mater) and a Fashion Illustration concentration at Parsons School of Design, my mother is a returning artist from last year - and is sister to the late Betsy Weedon. (read more)

Both of these pieces were custom framed with archival glass and matting by Rose Squared in Decatur. “
Ladies of a Certain Age” is offered at $800. “Just Before Rush Hour” is offered at $2,000. - WP


SOLD! "Watching the Old Structures Crumble" by Brenda Knosher

(5 December 2009 :: ATLANTA) - It is my great pleasure to announce that, as in 2008, the first piece of the season to sell is from Brenda Knosher - her “Watching the Old Structures Crumble” was purchased by Judy Knosher for $500.

Put plainly, this is $500 to Positive Impact, a free-and-clear donation, that Brenda inspired in Judy because of a generous donation of Brenda’s spirit, talent and artwork. So... let this be a rally cry for more sales, more donations, and more “SOLD!” signs.

Thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm, suggestions, improvements and ideas. Keep ‘em coming. More sales to announce soon I hope. And THANK YOU Judy Knosher for your purchase!

ARTvision Offers: "Passion Flower" by Kimber Herndon & Will Pollock

(4 December 2009 :: ATLANTA) - In a year marked by collaboration for ARTvision 4, I’m pleased to announce the first of a number of pieces that are artist collaborations - custom, one-of-a-kind designs specifically created to raise money for Positive Impact.

Kimber Herndon, co-owner of ARTvision sponsor Florapolitan, has interpreted one of my photos, “Passion Flower,” in a unique framed-copper piece that adds texture and depth to an existing image taken just outside of Santa Barbara, Calif. (read more)

Kimber is also set to debut another photo interpretation of “Embrace,” a photo I took at Bill Brennan & Jim Verraros’ wedding. More on that soon.

Meantime, check out “
Passion Flower” for $500, and make sure to stop by Kimber’s page for more info on her and our collaborations. - WP

Positive Impact. “You Look Really Good Today” is a unique, mixed-media piece on wood panel that, he says, represents his work well. (read more)

Watch as "Old Structures" Crumble... And Brenda Knosher Returns to ARTvision

(27 November 2009 :: ATLANTA) Starting with “Birth” in 2006 and then “Potential Pierces Possibility” in 2008 (which together raised nearly $800 for charity), Brenda Knosher returns to ARTvision 2009 with “Watching the Old Structures Crumble” - an intricate, moody piece that captures the mystery of imagination.

“Structures” is presented with acrylic, gold leaf, specialty paper and other materials to capture a textured, nuanced feel. The piece is set in a silver-leaf frame and (like all ARTvision pieces) has full hanging hardware.

“Watching the Old Structures Crumble” is offered to ARTvision buyers at $
500. For more on the piece and its frame, see the Slide album below. A full photo show of this piece is coming soon.
