Successfully attracting buyers to your space is our specialty as we highlight your home’s best features and emphasize its style. A beautifully finished home, staged to perfection, sells quickly and helps you get the highest return on your investment. </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Staging is not only about making your property beautifully appealing to potential buyers, it is about standing out amongst your competition. Whether you are one on a list of condos for sale in a single building or a house with numerous similar listings in your neighbourhood, it is imperative to be the BEST! Staging your space allows buyers to see the possibilities while visualizing themselves and their future in this new home.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 36px; letter-spacing: -2px;"><b>Pro Panels</b></span><br />
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
The Pro Panel system is a fast and easy way to display art, exhibits and presentations. It is simple to set up and tear down. Plus, it’s incredibly flexible to accommodate a variety of different booth designs. Both sides are finished and are usable hanging space. Each panel connects to the next with the provided strap velcro fasteners that wrap around the upper and lower legs, allowing you to hinge in any direction.The legs are adjustable to allow for leveling on unleveled surfaces. The panels are dark grey ( photo of the colour of the cover material is attached) which is a fabulous background for photographs and most all artworks. Each panel is sturdy with a foam interior they are extremely light and easy to carry, set up, and dismantle. </div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
This package for sale incudes:</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
- 9 dark grey panels, each panel is 70" height 38" width in good condition and ready to use today for your next show or exhibition</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
- a matching dark grey pedestal 32 " high 15v" width 16" depth which can be used to hold office items, credit card machines, brochures, etc, without cluttering up your display</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
- a very dark grey/black metal rod 80" extendable stabilizing bar that connects the top of panels to create a strong structure</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
You can set up your panels in many ways to make a very professional display. Here is the website where I originally bought the system and gives you ideas for your display set up.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
For the whole system, panels, bar, pedestal and shipping, originally I paid well over $1800. I'm selling this entire system for $1250. This is an excellent deal and a solid investment in your exhibiting business for a more professional look than most showcases.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
Attached are some pictures of the panels from the most recent art show exhibit in which I used them indoors (hence the reason they are in such good condition). You can pin small light paper art pieces directly on the panels and you can also hang heavier larger wired and framed paintings onto the panels. They can handle a fair bit of weight. To hang the larger wired or framed paintings simply use drapery pins directly into the panels to create a hook.</div>
<div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 16.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify;">
Please note, some of the attached pictures of displays that are not with dark grey panels are the SAME panels, but just different colours and set ups to give you an idea of possibilities and potential with this system. </div>

Making Your Creative Mark </b>by Eric Maisel<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">A logical — and vital —
relationship exists between passion and voice. It is very hard to be passionate
about what you’re doing if you haven’t found your voice as an artist. Imagine
being forced to sing an octave too high or an octave too low, straining to hit
notes that you can’t really hit and that aren’t natural to you. It would be
very hard to be passionate about singing in that situation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BasicParagraph" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">It is exactly
like that with respect to whatever art you are creating. Whether you have been
forced by circumstance not to create in your own voice, or whether you’ve
avoided creating in your own voice for psychological reasons, the result will
be a tremendous lack of passion for what you’re doing. Creating in your
authentic voice produces and sustains passion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="BasicParagraph" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .25in; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">With that in
mind, here are ten tips for finding or reclaiming your voice. They are framed
in terms of visual art, so if you are not a visual artist you will need to
translate them so that they make sense for your art discipline.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the need an artist feels to make his work look like something he holds as “good
art” or “real art” — very often old master art. Because he possesses an
internal library of the successful artworks of well-known artists, without
quite realizing that he is doing it, he aims his art in the direction of those
successes. It is vital that an artist detach from that visual library —
extinguish it, as it were — so that his own imagery has a chance to appear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you excel at producing dynamic-looking cats or turning a patch of yellow into a
convincing sun. That you have these talents doesn’t mean that you ought to be
producing lifelike cats or brilliant suns. Your strongest subject matter and
style choices depend on <i>what you want to
say </i>rather than on what you are good at producing. By all means, parlay
your skills and talents — but don’t rely on them so completely that you
effectively silence yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

personal work you want to do feels risky. Intellectually, you may find a way to
convince yourself that the risk is worth taking — but when you try to take the
risk, you balk because you suddenly feel anxiety welling up. Remember that a
risk is likely to </span><i><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Italic;">feel risky</span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">.

When you make new work that you think aims you in the direction of your genuine
voice, try to complete that work rather than stopping midway because “it
doesn’t look right” or “it isn’t working out.” You will make more progress if
you push through those feelings, complete things, and only </span><i><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Italic;">then</span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;"> appraise them. It is
natural for work that is a stretch and new to you to provoke all sorts of
uncomfortable feelings as you attempt it. Help yourself tolerate those feelings
by reminding yourself that finishing is a key to progress. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

may <span style="letter-spacing: -.05pt;">want to develop your voice independent
of art trends and say exactly what you want to say in exactly the way you want
to say it. On the other hand, it may serve you to take an interest in what’s
going on and make strategic decisions about how you want to position yourself
vis-à-vis the world of galleries, collectors, exhibitions, auctions, movements,
and so on. It isn’t so much that one way is right and the other is wrong but
rather that some marriage of the two, if you can pull it off, may serve you
best: a marriage, that is, of marketplace strategizing and of intensely
personal work that allows you to speak passionately in your own voice.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

are often of two minds as to whether they want to describe what they are
attempting. Paraphrasing a visual experience into a verbal artist’s statement
often feels unconvincing and beside the point. On the other hand, it can prove
quite useful to announce to yourself what you hope to accomplish with your new
work. By trying to put your next efforts into words, you may clarify your
intentions and as a consequence more strongly value your efforts. The better
you can describe what you are doing, the better you may understand your
artistic voice — and the more passionate you can be in talking about your work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

successful work has a way of reducing anxiety and can bring financial rewards
as well. But it may also prevent us from moving forward and discovering what we
hope to say. A balance to strike might be to do a certain amount of repeat
work, for the sake of calmness and for the sake of your bank account, and to
also add new work to your agenda. If you keep repeating yourself, it will prove
very hard to remain passionate about your work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your earliest passions.</b> </span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Life has a way of
causing us to forget where our genuine passions reside. You may have spent
decades in a big city and completely forgotten how much the desert means to
you. You may have been so busy painting and parenting that your burning passion
for creating a series of cityscapes fell off the map somewhere along the line.
Finding your voice may involve something as simple and straightforward as
making a list of your loves and starring the ones that still energize you. This
is one of the simplest and smartest ways to discover what you are passionate
about and what you want to say.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about integrating your different styles. </b></span></i><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Minion-Regular;">Maybe
you make two sorts of art, abstract relief paintings and realistic flat
paintings. This division may have occurred at some point when, perhaps without
consciously thinking the matter through, you decided that the one painting
style allowed you to do something that the other didn’t. It may pay you to
revisit this question today and see if the two styles can be integrated into
some third style that allows the best of both current styles to come together.
Whatever you discover from that investigation — whether it’s to move forward in
a new way or to recommit to your current methods — you will have helped
yourself better understand your artistic intentions. A lot of new passion can
arise from these efforts at integration.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

recognize the results. Because what you’ve created may be genuinely new — and
completely new to you — it may look like nothing you’ve ever seen before. That
can prove disconcerting! Don’t rush to judge it as too odd, a mess or a
mistake, or not what you’d intended. Give it some time to grow on you and speak
to you. Your voice may sound unfamiliar to you if you’ve never heard it before!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">By Eric Maisel<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want to
live a creative life and make your mark in some competitive art field like
writing, film-making, the visual arts, or music, and if at the same time you
want to live an emotionally healthy life full of love and satisfaction, you
need an intimate understanding of certain key ideas and how they relate to the
creative process. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One key idea is
that you must act confidently whether or not you feel confident. You need to
manifest confidence in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">every</i> stage of
the creative process if you want to get your creative work accomplished. Here’s
what confidence looks like throughout the creative process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 1. Wishing<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘Wishing’ is a
pre-contemplation stage where you haven’t really decided that you intend to
create. You dabble at making art, you don’t find your efforts very satisfying,
and you don’t feel that you go deep all that often. The confidence that you
need to manifest during this stage of the process is the confidence <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that you are equal to the rigors of creating</i>.
If you don’t confidently accept the reality of process and the reality of
difficulty you may never really get started. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 2. Incubation/Contemplation<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During this
second stage of the process you need to be able to remain open to what wants to
come rather than defensively settling on a first idea or an easy idea. The task
is remaining open and not settling for something that relieves your anxiety and
your discomfort. The confidence needed here is the confidence to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stay open</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 3. Choosing Your Next Subject <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At some point you need the confidence to
say, “I am ready to work <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">on this</i>.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You need the confidence to name a project
clearly (even if that naming is “Now I go to the blank canvas without a pre-conceived
idea and just start”), to commit to it, and to make sure that you aren’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">leaking confidence</i> even as you choose
this project. <b> </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><b>Choosing</b> is a
crucial part of the creative process.</u><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 4. Starting Your Work<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When you start a
new creative work you start with certain ideas for the work, certain hopes and
enthusiasms, certain doubts and fears – that is, you start with an array of
thoughts and feelings, some positive and some negative. The confidence you need
at that moment is the confidence <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that you
can weather all those thoughts and feelings </i>and the confidence <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to go into the unknown</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 5. Working<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you are
actually working on your creative project, you enter into the long process of
fits and starts, ups and downs, excellent moments and terrible moments – the
gamut of human experiences that attach to real work. For this stage you need
the confidence that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you can deal with
your own doubts and resistances</i> and the confidence that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you can handle whatever the work throws at
you</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 6. Completing<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At some point
you will be near completing the work. It is often hard to complete what we
start because then we are obliged to appraise it, learn if it is good or bad,
deal with the rigors of showing and selling, and so on. The confidence required
during this stage is the confidence to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">weather
the very ideas</i> of appraisal, criticism, rejection, disappointment and
everything else that we fear may be coming once we announce that the work is
done.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 7. Showing<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A time comes
when we are obliged to show our work. The confidence needed here is not only
the confidence to weather the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ideas</i>
of appraisal, criticism, and rejection but the confidence to weather the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">reality</i> of appraisal, criticism, and
rejection. Like so many other manifestations of confidence, the basic
confidence here sounds like “Bring it on!” You are agreeing to let the world do
its thing and announcing that you can survive any blows that the world
delivers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 8. Selling<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A confident
seller can negotiate, think on her feet, make pitches and presentations,
advocate for her work, explain why her work is wanted, and so on. You don’t
have to be over-confident, exuberant, over the top – you simply need to get
yourself to the place of being a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">calmly
confident seller</i>, someone who first makes a thing and then sells it in a
business-like manner.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 9: New Incubation and Contemplation<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While you are
showing and selling your completed works you are also incubating and
contemplating new projects and starting the process all over again. The
confidence required here is the confident belief <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that you have more good ideas in you</i>. You want to confidently
assert that you have plenty more to say and plenty more to do – even if you
don’t know what that “something” is quite yet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stage 10: Simultaneous and Shifting
States and Stages<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve made the
creative process sound rather neat and linear and usually it is anything but.
Often we are stalled on one thing, contemplating another thing, trying to sell
a third thing, and so on. The confidence needed <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">throughout the process</i> is the quiet, confident belief that you can
stay organized, successfully handle all of the thoughts and feelings going on
inside of you, get your work done, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">manage
everything</i>. This is a juggler’s confidence—it is you announcing, “You bet
that I can keep all of these balls in the air!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Manifest
confidence <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">throughout the creative
process</i>. Failing to manifest confidence at any stage will stall the
process. It isn’t easy living the artist’s life: the work is taxing, the
shadows of your personality interfere, and the art marketplace if fiercely
competitive. If you learn some key ideas, for instance that you must act
confidently whether or not you feel confident, you give yourself the best
chance possible for a productive and rewarding life in the arts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Where Spirituality meets Physicality, is a series large-scale abstract landscape paintings by Deb Chaney were created while exploring into the question; where does spirituality meet physicality?</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">

<div style="font: 14.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In each painting, the earth/ground represents the physical nature of existence where Deb taps into her technical knowledge of acrylics and mediums, mixed media and raw earth materials materials, to create thick textured earthy matter "physicality". </span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">

<div style="font: 14.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The sky/upper portion of each painting represent the spiritual nature of existence where the artist taps into the unseen realm of spirit, faith, surrender, trust, and inner listening allowing these to guide her gestural manipulation of liquid acrylics and polymer mediums to express the "spirituality".</span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The actual doing and process of creating these painting allows her to gain insight into this question of where and perhaps how spirituality and physicality meet. You can hear some of her answers which will be revealed during her Artist's talk recorded live at Britannia Library Gallery in Vancouver April 2013 and shown here on You Tube.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">In each painting, the earth/ground represents the physical nature of existence where Deb taps into her technical knowledge of acrylics and mediums, mixed media and raw earth materials materials, to create thick textured earthy matter "physicality".</span></span></div>

This past summer, my daughter Ruthie's grandfather Bill came out to visit from California and the three of us went to Victoria to be tourists and experience <a href="http://www.butchartgardens.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1" target="_blank">Butchard Gardens</a> for the first time. The Gardens were beautiful and inspiring in many ways. Here are a few photos from our day there in August.</div>

<div class="Firstparagraph" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Someday
I will petition Dictionary.com to change its definition of <span class="bodyital">self-love</span>. But I’m not willing to wait for that to happen
before I set the record — and your mind — straight about what self-love really
is. Especially not after all the work you just did to clear yourself of those
big misunderstandings and ridiculous beliefs about self-love. However, I do
admit I dream of millions of us, self-loving women and girls, mailing letter
upon letter to the office where this council of definition-makers resides. But
for right now, we need to evoke your individual love power to put your
self-love mind-set in place for good, so that nothing holds you back from
expressing love for yourself without apology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Firstparagraph" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">First, I
took it upon myself to write a new definition for self-love that we can all
rally around and embrace. One that you can input into your memory banks. A
definition that will make you think, “Choosing self-love is good! Do that!
Often.” Here goes. Open your mind, heart, and spirit for the real definition of
self-love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="lovemantra" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Self-love is the unconditional love and respect<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="lovemantra" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="lovemantra" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">so solid,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">including the one you have with yourself —<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="lovemantra" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">that reflect that same unconditional love and respect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Okay,
let’s pause here for a moment. You want this to sink in deep. Put your hand on
your heart and read the definition out loud. Really get the vibration of love
passing through your lips and seeping into your heart. Feel the love in your
body as you speak this truth. Yum, huh?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now,
let’s make it personal. Reread the definition again, this time transforming it
into a belief that you can hold and come back to again and again. Read the
definition aloud, <span class="bodyital">slowly</span>, replacing the “you” and
“yourself” with “I” and “myself,” making this about your love for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="lovemantra" style="line-height: 150%;">

<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: .1in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: .1in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Reread the entire definition out loud three times for maximum benefit. (Don’t
ask why three times; this is one of those magic-inducing things that just is —
vows, mantras, and anything you want to stick in your heart and mind need to be
repeated out loud at least three times.) Read at a pace that allows you to feel
the words sink into your body, as if they were penetrating your cells. Close
your eyes, take a deep breath, open your eyes, and read, listening with your
heart, as if your heart were soaking the words in. Keep your hand on your chest
right over your heart for extra love power (this is the place on your body that
you can always touch to activate your connection to your best-friend self).
After you finish reading this self-love definition, pause for a few moments,
eyes still closed, and let your heart consider this version of self-love to be
a reality for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: .1in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What
would it be like to love yourself so much that you, as your best friend, would
be willing to take that kind of stand for yourself? To stand for yourself and
your right to unconditional love and respect before anything or anyone else?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="bodyital">Unconditional love and respect</span> is a powerful and purposeful choice of words. It
means that, without exception, parameters, rules, or expectation, you commit to
giving yourself love and respect. That the love and respect you have for
yourself is just there, even when you screw up, make bad choices, or don’t show
up as your best self. You are human, and to be human means that you will make
mistakes, fail, and fall down. Your job as your very best friend is to always
reach out your hand to help yourself up, just as you would an innocent child.
If you witnessed a child fall down or stumble while learning to walk, you
wouldn’t say, “Get up, you loser! What’s your problem? You can do better than
that!” No, you would likely reach out your hand, help the child up, and say,
“It’s okay, keep trying. You are doing great!” Your job is to do the same for
yourself, to always choose to give yourself a hug and remind yourself that
you’re still growing and learning. That’s what a best friend or a loving parent
would do, and that’s what you will learn to do as choosing self-love becomes
your natural go-to state.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="body" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We’ve
all had relationships in which people didn’t love us unconditionally, but
instead used love as a reward, a punishment, or a manipulation tactic. In my
own experience, the times that a person I trusted and loved — whether a parent,
friend, or lover — took love away were some of the most damaging and painful
times I’ve ever known. Perhaps you too have experienced love being taken away
or used against you — it hurts! So do yourself a favor and make the
relationship with yourself different. Make it better. Make it so that love is
always given and always present, no matter what.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Looking at your portfolio online I can see that you do work in a number of styles - still life, abstracts, landscape, etc. Is there one particular style that you enjoy the most. Why?</span></b></span></div>
<div style="font: 14.0px Georgia; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">I am most partial these days to expressionist abstract works. Who can say why. I work very intuitively, letting what wants to come forth do so. Not always a smooth process, however. The mind tends to trick me sometimes, lets me think it knows what to paint. This usually results in less successful productions or less than enjoyable experiences. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">However, I have also been exploring figurative work, especially faces and nudes which I then “deconstruct” or situate into more abstract compositions. I feel the urge to explore this more in coming days, among other artistic ‘urges.’ </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">These works you mention arise from a process of “addition and subtraction.” I’ll explain. After an opening ‘gesture’ which is the initial addition to the empty canvas there begins a process, partly intuitive play, partly aesthetic judgement, of removing parts or ‘subtraction’ then adding more layers...and so on, each more refined, sometimes even desperate, until completion, which is to say when something in me says, “OK, enough! It’s finished.” On more than one occasion, I have put aside a work for months not knowing what comes next, then take it up again with a new inspiration. Other works can be complete in hours. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">I believe the passion for painting, and artistic expression generally, was always in me, from an early age. However, through circumstance and other influences that passion was diverted, suppressed even. Other interests dominated, like science, reading literature and philosophy, or relationships, personal growth and spirituality, all these so-called diversions were other expressions of “passion” (it turns out) that worked on me, refined my personality, opened up my vistas and sensibility. Then, around age 48 the passion for painting re-emerged quite suddenly. Bam! I was into it. It was partly catalyzed by a romantic breakup which can also be a dramatic opening. For me it certainly was. During this time, at the suggestion of a friend I began reading <i>The Artists Way, </i>and just followed the instructions. </span></span></div>

The freedom of being yourself immersed in a creative flow, which is in itself satisfying, and more so when something you create - a piece of art - impacts another, moves them to respond, to reflect. It’s a deep communion, certainly a spiritual one, though not always recognized as such. </span></span></div>

A second form of success, more material, I would say, is achieving financial sustainability through sales of works, prints or artifacts of the works I create. (Art as Business Enterprise) Third, would be a measure of public or peer recognition for one’s contribution to the domain of art, either as works, philosophy or process or technique.

I love how when yoiu are in nature and camping you don't have to <i>do </i> anything. Just be there and the earth, air, water, nature around you supports you, embraces you, calms you, heals you, gives you exactly what you need just by being there.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I’m thinking of new ideas all the time. So much so that
sometimes I can get spun out and exhausted. My wife, on the other hand, has a
much easier time staying grounded and pacing her energy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though she’s not quite as quick with new
ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ayurveda, the 5000-year-old medical system from India, often
called the sister science of yoga, has a lot to say about my wife and me.
According to Ayurveda, there are different types of people, and these different
types have different strengths, challenges, and needs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ayurveda identifies three primary tendencies<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>within people, called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">vata, pitta, and kapha. Vata </i>is the
energy of air; <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pitta</i> is the energy of
fire; and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kapha</i> is the energy of
water and earth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A person, like me, with a constitution dominant in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">vata </i>will have airy qualities (creative,
quick, possibly anxious). A person with a constitution dominant in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pitta</i> will have fiery qualities
(intense, focused, possibly overly critical). A person, like my wife, with a
constitution dominant in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kapha</i> will
have earthy qualities (steadfast, grounded, possibly stuck).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">vata</i> person will
be well endowed in the creativity department. New ideas and creative solutions
flow freely for such a person. Their challenge, like mine, is to stay grounded
and not get spun-out and exhausted from too many creative ideas. We have to
make sure to see our ideas through and not lose steam half way through a
project. By calming our <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">vata</i>, we can
be wildly creative but also focused and steadfast.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pitta</i> person
will be incisive and intelligent, often set on a fixed course of action and
less open to creativity and new ideas. Surgeons are usually <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pitta</i> individuals. They are confident,
focused, and intense. A <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pitta</i> person
can retain their great focus, but bring in more creativity and tolerance of new
ideas by soothing their <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pitta</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kapha </i>person,
like my wife, usually has terrific endurance and resolve. She easily stays
grounded, but creativity does not flow as freely. She may sometimes feel stuck
and blocked up. By soothing her <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kapha</i>
and increasing her <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">vata</i>, she can
harness her tremendous strength and resolve, while also tapping her latent
creativity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So how can you effect this change in yourself? First you
must identify your Ayurvedic constitution. To determine whether <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">vata, pitta, </i>or<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> kapha</i> predominates your constitution, take the following short
quiz.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This blog is dedicated to every single one of my students who have taken my foundation workshop in abstract painting in acrylics and mixed media, particularly those of you who were with me this last month - thank you. Thank you for having the courage to show up. Thank you for having the courage to take risks and play. And most of all, thank you for trusting me and allowing yourself to make crap art. To allow yourself to practice, to play, to make shit art and be OK with is. Knowing that getting in the painting groove, into your own process, and re-igniting your creative fire - for this weekend experience at least - was more important than coming out with perfectly finished art pieces.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
So, here's a few ideas of what you can do with some of those little paintings you might have done on canvas pads or thick water color paper or acrylic mixed media paper. The paintings that perhaps didn't turn out, the ones that you've lost interest in, the pieces whose composition fell short but who you do no feel like going back to and working and re-working. We all have them. Now it's time to turn them into something functional and have fun doing it!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Turning your painting practice pieces into sellable art, a few ideas, but really the only limit is YOUR creativity:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
NOTE: For all the following craft projects use <a href="http://www.michaels.com/Yes!-Paste/gc0273,default,pd.html" target="_blank">YES! Paste</a> because it's made to dry flat. Put a layer of plastic over it once you've glued it down and then put a brick or a few heavy books to glue it down nice and flat.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Art cards ( buy the blank ones at a craft store such as Michael's and then glue on covers from your practice piece. Ahhh yes, now you know why I had the paper cutter at the back of the workshop room! I was cutting up my practice pieces and making gift cards while you were painting yours!!!)</li>
<li>Book marks ( cut the art piece in a long rectangle and get it laminited)</li>
<li>Artist trading cards ( I wrote a blog about that last year or the year before, check it out for all the details)</li>
<li>Blank notepads with your art on the cover ( Last year I took all the old programs from the Culture Crawl and had them bound at a printer into little blank recycled paper note pads and then used my old art canvas pieces make excellent covers - especially when you use Kroma Crackle Paste, it looks like leather!!! Use a view finder on the art piece you're done with and find the sweet spot for the art on the cover of your card. People Love to buy these that want a piece of art but are not ready to commit to a big piece)</li>
<li>Collage - cut up the old art and collage it into other new paintings (recycle!)</li>
<li>Magnets (cut the canvas pad piece into any shape. Re-in force it with cardboard. Glue a magnet to the back of it. Optional: Pour resin over it to give it gloss and depth!! On a personal note I was soooo wanting to do this and make a bunch of magnets for the upcoming culture crawl open studio show but at this point I just don't think I"ll have time :-( )</li>
<li>Homemade journals (cut out the best picture from the practice art piece on loose canvas and glue it to a blank journal. I like to put a sticker or my biz card on the back to give it a signature feel.)</li>
</ol>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This month I'd like to introduce you to award winning Australian artist <a href="http://www.danadion.com/welcome.h%20tml" target="_blank">Dana Dion</a>. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dana and I met via The Beaumont Studios here in Vancouver where I was giving a talk about the "3 WOW's" and the secrets behind what makes some abstract paintings sell while others sit in the studio collecting dust. Dana brought her ipad with her to share her portfolio and I became entranced with her work and wanted to know more about her and her process.... </span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dana, I have to admit I was intrigued by your accent when you spoke. Personally I grew up in Canada with a South African mother and Australian father so I've had my own small exposure to various accents, but the way you spoke I could not peg it! Could you share with us your childhood and how you came to live in so many places?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: #3333ff; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was born in Israel. When I was two years old, my family moved back and forth between Kenya, Tanzania and Israel. We eventually settled in Vancouver when I was 14. My husband is Dutch, also with an accent. We have been living in Sydney Australia for the past 12 years, and before that, we spent three years in London. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Maybe this is why Deb, you could not "peg it" I think it is a "mish mash" of accents. I call it: my own special brew. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It also seems from reading your biography on your website that you were first more focussed on fitness - teaching pilates, yoga and personal training - before you came into the artistic portion of your life. How did art come into your life and please do tell us about this transition from tri-athlete and beauty pageant persona to working artist....</span></div>

I always try and find a creative aspect in what I do, and believe that creativity can be executed in many ways: As an artist, as a creator and inventor, as a business owner, and as a Pilates yoga and Fitness teacher etc.... It is all creative to me. And with that comes a creative journey. This journey is where you explore different ways to express. </span></div>

</span></b></span>Dana, please tell us about your painting process. In particular I loved the process you shared with me when we spoke at the Beaumont about how sometimes you paint a surface and then stamp or lift another canvas onto that and then use this to inspire a painting... I've never heard of this before! </b></b></span></b></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My works are drawing and paintings, as they represent both working methods. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The canvas or paper serves as the basis of the work, I apply many layers of paint and build up paint quality. I then start introducing my mark makings, drawing lines and motifs I collect in my memory, developing my own language. I keep going until I am satisfied With what I see.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Other working methods include drawing using pastel, charcoal, ink, pen and pencil on paper. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also like the <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Intimacy of working on paper as it lends itself to personal imagery.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Drawing allows for integration of my acquired language of mark making and vocabulary of semiotics, and for the freedom to let the paper play a large part in the finished work.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">The process I mentioned previously, is a simple printmaking technique which gives exciting results. It is a method which produces a single print from a smooth sheet of metal, glass or acetate. which is used as the printing plate. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I use a big sheet of </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">perspex.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">I apply paint (mixed with retarder) and ink and create shapes, or rub off some of the paint, and just have fun on the plate. Then I place un-stretched canvas or paper onto the plate, and use a roller to apply pressure and lift the image from the plate onto the support. I do this multiple times (allow to dry between layers) until I am happy with the image. I then stretch the canvas onto a frame, (don't need to do that with paper) and start to work on "resolving" the composition. </span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">That could be by adding more paint in areas, defining certain areas, push back some areas, etc....</span></span></div>
