Hi All!  Medium news to report this week along with this week's ArtFull Moment message about the promises of spring (see link above).  I have begun work on a new website dedicated to Artfull moments where you will be able to buy them as 18 x 24 or 22 x 28 prints, reasonably priced, unframed or framed.  Will let you know more as we make progress.

Also, I decided to hold over the ongoing ArtFull Moments Show & Sale at Estrella Fine Art through April 15 instead of APril 2.  This includes the 25% off prices on 40  fine art quality giclees with archival framing.  Here is a link to the virtual tour of the gallery and the show.  If you are local, it's well worth a detour to  see the show.  You will come away feeling great, with the positive messages of ArtFull Moments.

Hi, all!  Above is a link to this week's ArtFull Moment, shown left.

The gallery is now beautiful, and people are loving the ArtFull Moments Show & Sale, continuing through April 2. Prices are all 25% off for the duration, with framed pieces as low as $59.00, up to $397.00 for 16" x 22" giclees framed out to 24" x 30".

Here is a link to the virtual tour for the new gallery and the show



Come one, come all!  Many thanks for all the praises and encouragement I have received for this work.

ArtFull Moment March 2, 2011: Peas Be With You

Hi again, everyone.  I'm not just playing with food again in this week's ArtFull Moment.  I'm just looking for some levity while lightening the load.

Here is a link to the web version of this week's ArtFull Moments.

It's still early morning, and already Virginia has responded :

"Beautiful show and done with great taste!  Love the message in "Peas"

so approbate for the times were living.  Thank you!"

Many thanks to all who came to the Opening of the ArtFull Moments show last Friday.  It means a lot to interrupt your routine to wish someone well.  You took the time, showed love, and showered my work with compliments.  Thank you.

We put so much time, hard physical work, and money into every show.  Over the 18 years I have been in the art business, I am warmed by considerateness of friends who come to the gallery and/or send good wishes. I also crash every after every show opening, wounded by general public apathy.  I suppose the push to create an astonishing and beautiful presentation is so great, it may be unrealistic to think that any turnout will ever seem like enough.  Yet, it seems that the general public, whoever they are, does attend many functions, just never any of mine.  For everyone who was too busy to bother to come, here is a virtual tour of the gallery.



The show is much more powerful in person.  Free to look & enjoy.

I'm off now to regain my "Inner Peas."  Emmie

Opening Reception - Eve - Appropriate ArtFull Moment Message

This week's ArtFull Moment, "Rebuild" seems to be resonating with many.  Betty's comment from Saranac Lake, NY:

"This is such a good message for me right now.  All of us are rebuilding in some way.  I'm "rebuilding" my body as I recover from a back injury.  I've set this Artfull Moment as my desktop background so I can remind myself of this good message very time I sit down at my computer.  Thank you, Emmie!"

 

Yes, and with the Opening reception tomorrow  for the first-ever Fine Photography Show for ArtFull Moments, we are rebuilding here, too. Here's my explanation of this week's moment:

 

About this Week's ArtFull Moment:  "Offer"

This shot was taken at the Tuzigoot National Monument, an example of "late stage" pueblo construction, inhabited approx. 1100.  Located near Clarkdale and Cottonwood, AZ, southwest of Sedona, this ruin occupies a hilltop, with panoramic views for many miles.  Standing alone on the top lookout level gave me pause to ponder:  One thought, one deed, one stone at a time, a legacy is built.     Emmie

Good Morning all!  Today's Momentous response so far was from Virginia in Scottsdale:



"Looks like you were up very early, I am too, getting ready for my daily walk

with a friend.

Beautiful Artful Moment!  You have an amazing eye...thanks for sharing.

Have a memorable day."

 

My day ahead should be productive; I am finishing the packing at my gallery.  I expect the move to happen next week...then the heavy lifting begins to get get back up & running.  I am preparing for an Opening Reception for a show called Artfull Moments: A Visual Mission.  I am looking to schedule it for Friday, February 25 at the new location, 15716 N. 76th St, just north of the Greenway Hayden Loop in the North Scottsdale Design District.  More on that later.

 

I may have found a local printer to produce affordable, high quality posters. So soon we can offer BIG, bright, juicy ArtFull Moments online as well as at the gallery.  In order to  produce a low cost print, we will have to order in quantity, That's a big inve$tment, and I will have to be very careful about which images to select.   Please let me know which Moments you think  would be the most successful as posters. I will keep track of the "votes" and will let you know the winning images. 

 

Thanks, as awlays, Emmie

Happy New Year ! Yikes!

Here is the ArtFull Moment for January 5, 2011.  Sorry, I neglected to post the  weeks since December 15, 2010.  We had a bit of a shakeup here.  Just before Christmas, I got word that I would have to move my Estrella Fine Art gallery because new tenants  wanted the entire suite FAST!  In an effort to serenly accept the things I cannot change, etc., I am looking on this move as a blessing in disguise.  I will be going to an upstairs suite in the Papagno's Marble & Granite building a block away, on  76th Street, just north of the Greenway Hayden Loop.  The space is a bit larger than the present quarters, and will work well for shows and everyday display, too.  I want the move to be as fast as possible.  I was planning a show for ArtFull Moments for January 22, and I hope I can still hold it before the end of Bebruary.  Enough about me.  This week's Moment is all about embracing the new year and being Fabulous!  Enjoy

Emmie
