Be A Saint Art Auction with Sylvia White:

"As a show of support to further our commitment to Ventura: California’s New Art City, Sylvia White Gallery is proud to continue the tradition we started last year, with our second annual Valentine’s Day, Be A Saint, ArtAdvance.  This unusual event will include a juried art auction.

Each artist selected by the jurors, will be entered into the ArtAdvance Lottery.

One lucky artist will be the grand prize winner, picked at random to receive $1000 cash.

The number of $500 winners will be determined at the event, depending on money raised."

I have a piece in this show, and both hubby and I will be there to root it on.

Hopefully tonight it will be a in a bidding war

Little Details

As an Artist and an art history buff I find the connections with other artist comforting.

Sothebys will be putting on the block a collection of letters from the painter Magritte.

I have known who this painter was since I was a child. My Aunt and Uncle had a print of his painting

"Son of Man" in their home for as long as I can remember.

 I remember always being fasinated by it and as a child asking repeatedly why his face was covered by an apple and why was he all alone.

ahhhhhhh art blooming.

 When I saw this auction announced I was immedately taken by a tiny detail about the letters.

"Asking his friends advice on painting titles"

I can personally attest to the long process in finding the right titles for work....hearing that he struggled with this process as well was charming and reassuring.

We ARE all the same.
