Rony Shubich’s artwork reflects her life and her energy!  She grew up in Mexico City where color and people influenced her ideas and work.  Imagine looking at this wonderful painting every day!  “My Search1” is just one of Rony’s dynamic works.

Blank walls?  Never! 

I just watched a program on tv where a decorator took a beautiful, large, blank wall and …………..painted the wall black with some gold squiggles!  How could she!?!  There is such a wide array of art available.  Fascinating art!  Excellent art! Provoking art!

As I watched (and watched the homeowner’s look of horror when she saw the wall), I wished I could have shown them the artwork we represent!  Artwork that is beautiful and would provide a feast for the eyes and soul!

Just say “no” to blank walls.  Just say “no” to walls painted to look like, what can I call it?  Just say “yes” to original art.

Attended Allison’s opening last night!  FANTASTIC!!!!!  Pyrotechnic Luminescence is a must see exhibit!  Allison barely survived a tragic car accident in 1998 but Allison looks at that accident as a gift of life!  She was interviewed for tv and her energy and positive attitude are inspiring.

AND her artwork is alive and beautiful!  Her statement: “I am creating visual vibrations.”  If you did not have an opportunity to attend the opening, don’t miss the exhibition. It runs until November 14 at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg, Florida!

1.  Art provides a feast for your eyes and senses!

2.  Art lifts your mood!

3.  Art stimulates your brain cells---and mine need that stimulation!

4.  A thing of beauty lasts forever!

5.  Great artwork makes your neighbors and friends jealous!

Now….add your reasons to this list!  Make it a long, long, long list……  Blog now!

"Everyone has obstacles to overcome.

And they sometimes seem insurmountable

...I found secrets".

Allison will be giving a talk on October 10th at 7:00pm at the Morean Arts Center about:  "The true story of how she was burned alive and went on to create a life she never dreamed possible." This night celebrates the release of Allison's new 7-CD Audio Set.

In the talk you will learn:

How to create a complete shift in attitude that would instantly change your reality How to create against-all-odds outcomes in your own life Stories from her life that led to her own personal transformation. *Please note this event contains strong content and is not recommended for children.

Discover Original Art is partnering with the local downtown St. Petersburg office of Keller Williams to create a “wall of art.”  The space is perfect for displaying artwork and we will be rotating art so our artists will be represented.  As people go into the office to buy houses, condos, buildings…..we will be represented with a brochure and artwork!

More information to come so watch for it!

Participated in Art Walk last weekend and had fun.  And….found a great new potter!  We are looking forward to adding her to our site!  She is on a trip right now but when she returns, we will be working with her.  Will give you her name when all is definite!

The problem with meeting new artists is……I love their works and want to own them! Now that I live in a condo, I have limited space and every wall has artwork on it.  Sometimes more than one piece!  But what an enjoyable problem.

Looking forward to adding some new art soon!  Stay posted!
