Merry Christmas!

To all our friends, family and fans,

May your celebrations be joyful and all your holidays be GRAND.

We wish you peace and happiness.

New Projects--December 2011

There seems to have been a flurry of events in the past month or so that have called for flowers--bouquets sent to friends and family across the nation.

Rather than send flowers with fleeting powers, Gil chose to translate his feelings into something more permanent with this studio arrangement. With a title of "Forever," we hope to extend a reminder for the recipients of what they all mean to us for, well, a very long time.

Printed on canvas, this image has the visual quality of an oil painting, suitable for framing without glass. Is there someone on your list who you want to remind of your love for them?

Underwater Images

On Sunday we had the chance to get in the water with some children (and parents!) at AquaSafe in Scottsdale. The kids ranged in age from just a few months old to early teens and sported their best smiles for portraits just in time for the holidays. We think everyone had fun and the images are great!

We graciously thank AquaSafe Swim School for the opportunity to bring this brand of portraiture to their families. You can see our underwater world at h2ohphoto.com; book a private session for your kids in season. Check out AquaSafe at aquasafeswim.com.

Buddha

We were entrusted with John Tryon's Buddha to reproduce. He's primarily a plen air painter, choosing oils to paint desert scenes. The original piece of art was done specifically for a yoga studio and other teachers have expressed interest in having their own, albeit smaller, version.

We were as pleased with the results as he was for his clients. He can be contacted directly, if interested, for your own limited edition giclee canvas print at johnt.artinoils@gmail.com

We want to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone that stopped by our temporary digs at Hidden in the Hills this November. The weather was the best we've ever encountered for the event, the participants were enthusiastic, the conversations engaging and it was the most profitable art show in years. What could be better? Well, we did learn of even more places we need to see. We always like that.

While everyone loved our critters, the image that commanded the most attention is one of an ancient dwelling commonly referred to as House on Fire. We call it "Burning down the House." You can see why!
