VG17. Autoportraits in the Morning

Good day Dear Reader,

How are you this bright and cold Saturday?  I find myself at home with a good solid cold.  Thats okay because I have taken advantage to use the time at home and buy all the stuff that I need for the medical cabinet.  I have everything up to date and I am chock full of cough drops, cough syrup, decongestitants and pain killers.  A brand new humidifier is now mine as well.  I remember when I was a child my mother put one in my room. The humidity was supposed to help unstuff the nose.

Anyways all this resting has resulted in myself being bright and bushy tailed in the middle of the night.  Like an old friend, I go to the computer and catch up on my writing.

But enough of myself, let me tell you about my new Autoportrait.  You can see it at:

Invite me into your home without too much trouble.  The portrait is available for purchase custom made.

Studio Work Day

Saturday is studio Work day and last week I took advantage of the morning to take some publicity stills.  The self portraits that I have amassed did not suit me anymore so I thought it would be good to take some new pics of myself.  The current exhibition: Autumn Leaves: New City would do nicely for a backdrop.

I wanted some fresh new poses for the Gallery.so I took a chair with me this time.  I could leave the pictures on the wall or hold them as I sat on the chair. The chair would allow me to place my body in different angles as well.

Trolley and Chair

So I put the camera onto the triptych.  The triptych onto the table and the table onto the trolley.  And then I would go back to fetch the chair as I slowly moved from picture to picture to film.

 I had the new triptych to put the camera on, and a table to give even more variations of the height that the camera would be on.  These were placed on top of a trolley and I wheeled them from picture to picture.  The chair presented a problem.  It did not fit on the trolley so I had to move it manually.

It was a slow process and I did not have the opportunity to pose in front of all of the pictures.  I got about fifteen poses done and then stopped.  When everything was cleaned up I ended up with a fairly good autoportrait to use online and to offer to friends and patrons of Art Fabian Co.

So that is what I did this particular Saturday Morning as I did Studio work in Val Gal. What did you do last Saturday? Write me at https://www.facebook.com/TheArtFabianCompany/

vg1. Introducing Val Gal by Kathy Fabian

September 9, 2015 In the romantic novels the artist goes way up to his tiny attic on the very top of his house to create and be free.  Sometimes it has a great view of Paris.  Or sometimes the person is a writer who creates great novels and ideas. They both seal themselves from the rest of the world to do great things.  Well why not imitate?   I live in a woman's residence in a very small room. When I first arrived I imagined it as a womb.  A creative womb in which I would heal and rest and create great art.  I would sit on the bed cross yoga position with hands on my legs and look out the window and the blue sky. I would imagine I meditated.   I would imagine I was one with the blue sky. Well years have gone by and I no longer think of the room as a womb.  It became a small and impoverished cell for a while and then my imagination took over again.  I thought of it much like that attic. So now it is my studio in which I develop and frame the photographs that I create.  I ha

V24. Sparkling for the Celebrations. New Vintage Jewelry

Superstitious?  What kind of rituals do you follow for good luck?  For myself, I like to take advantage of special times to see if I can reap good fortune.  For example, if I have something important to organize I am likely to do it on a Holiday or on Sunday. So planning this week's Studio work was a no brainer.  I had recently received a large amount of old jewelry from an estate. The choicer pieces had long gone and these were left.  They were supposed to be unsellable.  So I asked how they were organized. I said if you give almost them to me, I will organize them for you in the proper way.  But I was given them instead. The owner felt they were just cluttering up the house.  Luckily I have my jewelry collection. To get them they had to be quickly boxed and taken off the premises.  But once I brought them home, there was no time to organize them anymore because of the Holiday Preparations.  So this Saturday I took some time to clean the antique jewelery and to put them pro

v10 Happy Thanksgiving, Construction sites, Autumn Days and Muses. By Kathy Fabian

Write  kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com   for inquiries.    The leaves are brightly colored outside.  And the days sunny. So I went into my archives to find some images with splendid autumn foliage.  Saturday I reserved for studio work .  I had been tidying up my collection of muses and had a few lovely ladies ready to star in my photographic extravaganzas.  The final element was the inclusion of the very expensive, very evident presence of construction in the neighborhood. I had a lot of autumn pictures but I wanted to showcase technology and machines.  As luck would have it we were having some road repair done right outside our house.  And voila I had the tree elements with very little trouble;  Construction sites, beautiful
