vg11. Dancer Outside My House and Yoga in the Park: Two Saturday Studio Works

Hello Dear Readers,

A Little Background about Me:

I was part of the New Renaissance.   In the historical Renaissance period world travel was considered part of any elegant young gentleman's education.  A couple of years ago I encountered a subculture of men and women dressed in clothes that would make them fit in from work to a party and the night life beyond.  The clothes also were international.  You could wear them in any culture.  As luck would have it, I sometimes accompanied these men and women in their world travels and got to experience the culture of many lands. Thus I am influenced by many cultures when I create my art.  Right now I have some Ambient music on and am watching a tropical underwater scene.  Saturday it was Indian spiritual music.  

Studio Work on Saturday.

The more public Corridor Gallery was finished.  This year the proper nameplates and my business card were all in the right place.  So I took a break from properly mounting the Rose Studio Gallery.  I dedicated This Saturday to new creative work.

Description of the Art Work

In one image I have a magic creature dancing right outside my house.  I could almost see her if I looked outside the window.   For the other image, I had a muse doing yoga in a neighborhood park.  The first image I used one of someone else's photos. The second one had my photo as a backdrop.
They both are part of the current exhibit dealing with autumn and the preparation of man and nature for the cold winter months.

The Problem of Free form Shapes

I decided to tackle photo montage. I had the program in Windows but I cannot cut freeform shapes.  I can cut them but when I transfer them on the background there is always a rectangular shape so if I did not fill the rectangle with the cut out, the space is completely white.  This means I have to fill it in bit by bit with the background.  I find this long and tiresome. I have another program called NCH or something like that.  I am going to try that. Afterwards, maybe Movie Maker will help me.

Despite the glitches, I made some pretty decent photo-montages.  I kept the motif of Vision boards that are supposed to grant your wishes.  But instead of placing them in a fantastic urban landscape I had mystical creatures appear right in the neighborhood.  Its still something I wish would happen but more real world.  

If you know of a free programs that I can get just the free form shape or if you know how to do it in Word please write me at kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com

Are you interested in art-collecting? 
Send me your email address and I will send you a photo-present. 
  I look forward to a rewarding association with you. 
  Love,

vg12. Autumn Quarterly:2015. Production

 Autumn Quarterly:2015. Production By Kathy Fabian, C.E.O. and Principal Artist The first and Foremost goal of all Art Fabian Company work to to achieve financial success. Blogging My writing will focus on Money making projects such as ValGal and my Google Page My Clothes Right Now for Sale. I will continue my schedule of writing for a different blog each day.  I am trying to keep one month a head for blog posts.  Meanwhile if I find a better place to do something then I will leave the old site intact to leave a virtual footprint. I will slow down writing actual articles and concentrating on improving the presentation for the blogs. Each blog should have an example of art on it for sale.  I will focus only on stuff I feel that I really want to write about or on money making projects.  I will just polish up stuff that highlights just my creative work. I have a lot of blog articles now so they are actually not my main priority.  Organizing pro...

VG14. Beautiful Charting by Kathy Fabian

Hello Dear Readers, This Saturday I decided to do charting.  I had been contacting the support team at Google for a problem about my balance.  I wanted to use my balance on Google Play to pay for a membership with Gliffy flow charts or Mindmeister Mind Maps.  It turned out you need to pay for Gliffy only with a credit card.  And Mindmaster could be bought with the Google Chrome store.  The Google Play store was a different kettle of fish.  I had put on $100.00 on Google play and I could not transfer it in any way to use for either of these mapping programs. I must have been on the phone for five hours trying to figure out how to pay with the Google Play points.  One hundred dollars is a lot of money and I had it budgeted for the mind mapping.  I did not want to buy anything else, no matter how seductive.  Anyways finally I realized they have a  whole lot of gift cards you can buy with the points so the money will be used and on budge...

V31. Living on Less, Ongoing Work, and Deciding the Kind of Exhibit. by Kathy Vivian Fabian

Continuing the Gallery with a Steep Cut in Income I started the new year with a steep cut in my living income.  The question is how to continue working on the gallery without spending as much money as I have in the past.  As I pass the artwork in the Corridor Lobby I see quite a lot of work to do without even having to frame the picture. Just after breakfast today, I cleaned up the identity tags.  there were some from last exhibit and some had not been installed yet.  That done I changed the position of two exhibits that had been not properly placed. I have received a few beautiful tapestries that I want to hang up.  But they are still in storage.  I also have two frames that are not finished.  I have been waiting until my budget permits.  Also, I have been working on inventory with an app I found called ArtMoi.com.  One of my drawings would fit nicely into one of the frames.  So I will work on that today. How to continue working...
