Greg Davis Rejoins ARTvision with A Trio of Paintings
Dec 16 2009 08:23 PM Filed in: Returning
ARTvision Artists | Painting
(ATLANTA :: 16 December 2009)
For someone who has been painting for friends
and family as a hobby for years,
Greg Davis
started
off his first exhibition last year with a bang...
selling two pieces.
“The Gloaming” was a mysterious and complex meditation on a marshy green abstract form; and “Autumn ’08,” a reminder of how vibrant the season change can be in the imagination.
This year, Greg offers up a 10”x10” trio of paintings, all oil on square canvas, that are riffs on familiar abstractions. They are offered individually for $100 each, or as a trio for $275. (read more)
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
Keeping ARTvision & Positive Impact All in the (O'Connor) Family
(ATLANTA ::
17 Dec. 2009) - When you’re floating down
Canal du Midi
in the
beautiful south of France, you can close your
eyes and just dream.
And dream we did. As fate would
have it, four ARTvision artists -
me, Rob
O’Connor, Sara O’Connor
and
Rebecca
Shirkey-Sloan - were on the boat
living the dream and planning world domination.
(Oh wait, that was last week’s episode of
Family Guy).
Seriously though, there was an artistic flow of energy on the vessel that was palpable but as yet undefined... until now. (Two subjects were also on hand giving us lots of inspiration as we drifted and chugged down the canal.)
Let’s start with Sara “Muffy” O’Connor, who joins ARTvision with “Bridge Over the Canal du Midi” - a scene that spoke to her enough to snap pictures of it with brother Rob’s camera. She painted from that picture. (more)
“Bridge Over the Canal du Midi” is offered at $95. For more, visit Sara’s artist page. More O’Connors to follow, including Rob, cousin Rebecca and subjects Mama Jean and Anna Catherine. - 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)

Design, my mother is a
returning artist from last year - and is sister to

Weedon.

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.
