ARABELLA - Canadian Art, Architecture & Design - Summer-Harvest September 05, 2016

I dette nummeret

Arabella Summer Harvest 2016 is like a great painting . It took a little time but what emerged, I think, is a collage of color, movement, laughter and soul. This is THE ART ISSUE - celebrating a total of 19 unique, gifted and interesting artists. The end of summer is perfect for basking in the last days of relaxation and warmth, and a great time to explore the lives and work of these talented individuals. I see a few pieces that would work in my collection, and I am sure you will too. There will be lots of time to look at beautiful rooms and decor when fall arrives; so many home and design magazines to purchase; stunning architecture and exquisite rooms to draw you in. Veranda and House Beautiful are perennial favorites. ART OF ALL KINDS We have art to make you smile, art exploding with color, beautiful landscapes from places only the mind can see, unique critters and characters, glimpses of days gone by, and creative journeys exploring our inner beings. We have art for your heart, body and soul, and I hope it will transfix and empower you as it does me. For without color, beauty and creativity what is the point? The artists stories in this issue are not in alphabetical order. They are not in the order of how they paint, nor are they in the order of selling price. I have put them in a riotous, roller coaster ride of color and contrast, the better for you to catch each and every one of them along the way. There are accomplished artists, achieving artists and aspiring artists in this collection. All full of talent and passion, and every one of them a truly gifted professional. Some of them I have known about for years, others are new friends, and it has been a true privilege to work with each of them on this issue.
