It’s the spring quarterly business review for Art Fabian Company. The permanent Valuable Gallery Collection in Montreal, Canada that will be refined without a formal schedule.  Right now we have an Anime Exhibition in the Rose Studio and a Calming Exhibition in the Blue Corridor Gallery.  Check out pics from previous exhibitions at: www.artformillionaires.blogspot.ca .: Action will continue in two directions Valuable Gallery online: 1.        Art Fabian Company is taking the challenge of publishing one art work (in different mediums) a day. 2.        We are going to introduce a series of slideshows featuring Kathy Vivian Fabian artwork done in previous years from the Val Gal Archives. All the action will take place on our main website which is: www.treasuregallery.blogspot.ca Profits are still non-existant so I will be concentrating on creative work.  I am reading on marketing strateg...

Tomorrow is the first day of spring. Unlike the other seasons of the Valuable Gallery we will not be starting a new seasonal exhibit.  Instead we are going to concentrate on refining one permanent collection.   The Corridor Gallery is to inspire calm and direction since the exhibition pieces are in a corridor which is on the way to somewhere. It is a gallery that encourages one to feel confidence as it leads the person back to their own space. I have been finishing some drawings from my Madonna on the Outside Collection. This inspires me to add a few black and white tableaus to the Blue Corridor Gallery.  You can own some of the pieces that been created by myself (including some from the Valuable Gallery).  Go to www.treasuregallery.blogspot.ca and see the selection. by Kathy Vivian Fabian kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com

Deciding the Weekend Work Plan. I had been  devoting Saturdays to the Valuable Gallery and Sundays to the Art Fabian Company Outreach.  The Outreach is a program in which I reach out to important patrons and friends in the community.  They could be local business of note or people on my birthday list.  The plan is that each month ten individuals are chosen and they are given a personally written letter by myself.  This is to establish good relations between myself and my Company and the community around us. I was surprised to see how late in the month we were when I was deciding what to schedule in for Saturday Gallery work.  I had also had a little trouble meeting the deadline for the January Outreach.  So I decided to start working on the February Outreach in the morning on Saturday.  I would see how far I had gotten and would decide the next move when I broke for lunch. Figuring out Birthday Text and Blueprints Its lucky that I did this...

February 14, 2016 (To see how I am working on these sketches scroll down to the Saturday morning section of this article) I had been doing a fair amount of creative work in the week so Saturday I did a lot of organizing. The Art Moi Inventory app is getting easier to use. This encouraged me to really start finishing the Madonna Collection.  The Madonna Collection is a series of photographs and sketches that span several decades.  The Madonna Artworks were created in the 1980's but were never finished.  The Madonna photographs are being created right now.  This is what I was working on during the week. The Madonna artworks are mostly in black and white and were created during the musical era of Blondie and Madonna. This is when the two stunning women were much in the limelight.  They were also very much competitive in both music and physical appearance.  This is also a time when I decided to follow the art scene full time. It was my pleasure to f...

A new guiding idea Last Saturday I got up with a new guiding idea: Do things slower, better and more simply. I had been running like a chicken with its head cut off to film Valuable Gallery Exhibits in my spare time.  This had to change.  So I decided to spend less time making the exhibit perfect, perfect and more time in a holistic approach to the project.  In other words, the online part of the exhibit would be just as important as the actual private exhibit in the Corridor Hallway. Separating Set-up Time and Online Time Practically I had to  cut the setup time in half and work with the filming and cataloguing time in the other half of the period. Remember that the Valuable Gallery exhibitions follow the change of seasons: that is summer, fall, winter and spring.  So for half of the spring time for example, I would refine the exhibit onsite.  that is I would work with the images that were better and I would perhaps change the images that had s...

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...

It all started when I wanted to change my small square image for the Winter Exhibition.  the task was supposed to take five minutes.  I would make a fresh collage.  Everything was prepared.  And just scoot the thing in.  All done. Unfortunately it did not turn out that way. First of all there was a Holiday Season decoration still installed on the picture.  So that had to come off.  And if I was going to take it off I had to film it.  This work was in the Rose Studio and the ornament was not just any ornament, it was chandelier inspired with real chandelier crystal integrated into it.  So I had to take a picture of it. And if I had to take a picture of it then I had to install the proper set up to that the light and shadows worked.  And if I took the trouble to do that then maybe I should film All the other ornaments from the Holidays.  And before I did that, I had to finish some with some new crystals that I had gotten. And w...
