There is a lot going on in the gallery for February. We have guest artist Artfulcare here showing his Photography from the Australian Bush. Artfulcare has never shown his work in Second Life Before. This exhibit shows many beautiful and interesting photographs taken from the Australian bush. It is also a rotating exhibit as he will be changing out some of the art and replacing it with some other pieces. Very nice Exhibit.

Emmalena Damour's Art Gallery

The Summer Sunrise and Sunsets on the Equator is Starting on February 15th. This is the fifth hunt the gallery has organized and the 2nd annual hunt for the SS&S ot Equator.

The Homestuffs Hunt starts on the 1st of March. this is a huge Second Life (tm) grid wide hunt. The Gallery has a free gift at the Stuffs Lounge and has also entered into the hunt.
Womenstuffs, Menstuffs and Homestuffs Lounge 
The Homestuff the Womenstuff and the Menstuff are all running at the same time. So it proves to be huge!

Emmalena Damour's Art Gallery Annex at Rivendale has a new look. There have been some major enhancements. 4 of the rental spaces have been removed and 2 new buildings have been added to replace the first building. These buildings each have 2 stories and have an entrance similar to the main gallery. This more attractive entrance is pleasing to the eye. The old building was 4 stories and more utilitarian. This has the glamour of a nice space. The 4 spaces are much larger and easy to move around in.  2 of the spaces have 100 prim available and the other 2 have 75 prim available.

Raglan Shire ArtWalk

The show was officially opened on Sunday May 5th and runs through May 26th. Press releases have been sent to inworld media. ArtWalk is a featured event in the May SL Showcase.This is the 8th annual artwalk at the tinies land.

This is an interesting collection of art from many artists. The artwalk has Real Life drawing, painting and photography as well as Second Life art, sculpture and Photography.

I have walked around the different areas in the artwalk and have seen some wonderful and original art. It is so fascinating to view other artists work without having to go very far. Some of the art is thought provoking, other pieces of art are whimsical, all of it is beautiful. Two artists at the Gallery have some of their art at the walk. Emmalena Damour and CarmanTurner. Each of the exhibits can be seen at the following SLURL:

New Guest Artist  Aely Witte

 

  We have a new guest artist from May 1 through May 31, 2013. Her work is hanging in the gallery now. She definitely has a different type of exhibit than I have had in the gallery before.

 

"SL or RL? " exhibit..

I am glad to provide the artist a chance to show some of her art. This is a new exhibit by an artist showing her photographic art for the first time in Second Life.

Aely Witte is an accomplished model, producer and director in SL. She is also a content creator.  In RL she is a street photographer.  Her art is a form of photojournalism where intimately, usually from only several meters,  she captures real people in their moments of joy, love, sadness, excitement and their special acts of being "human".  "SL or RL?" is a comparative exhibit of how similar our virtual and human uniqueness is.

So can you tell which photographs are Second Life and which are Real Life?

 

Aely Witte currently does not have a gallery or gallery space elsewhere here in sl. This exhibit will determine if she wants to have a space.

So buy some of her art if you are able to.

 

Also all proceeds from Aely's art sales will be donated to the Epilepsy Foundation.

Easter Egg Hunt and new areas for artists

Wow things have been changing around here! With the winter version of the Summer Sunrise and Sunsets Hunt over with we are onto new ventures.

First of all I have acquired the land next to the /gallery and have added 2 buildings for artist rental or other vendor rental. There are 8 new spaces to rent. Here is a photo.


Gallery Annex at Rivendale Horan
There is already one space rented out, besides the 2 spaces I am using for the Frame shop and for household and miscellaneous items.

We also have an Easter Egg hunt going on.

The hunt is for the egg itself. There are 16 different designer eggs. All of them have original textures. Most of them can be used all year in a display. Some of them say "Happy Easter". There are also 3 different egg holders to display your eggs. The pewter one, the walnut one and the cherry wood holder. One of the eggs contains a pewter holder, which is copy and transfer, so you can display any of the eggs you find.The Hunt goes through Easter Sunday. Below is an idea of what you are looking for. Each egg is $1L.


We hope to see you soon!

There is a new hunt for the gallery coming up. I will be organizing a new hunt in the next 6 weeks. Summer Sunrise and Sunsets On The Equator!

You can access more information on the hunt at: Summer Sunrise and Sunsets Of The Equator

It has been a long time since I took the time to blog. I apologize for my neglect. I have been very busy. I have been learning and creating. Though the creating is the best part. I haven't actually painted an acrylic in quite some time, though I replaced old paint a couple of months ago. So last Sunday I put down a drop cloth, put a canvas on an easel, and started to paint. The painting is called "Dawn Of The Storm", which I will show you below. I am so excited about the new art that can be seen at the Gallery or at my RL website. "Carman Turner Fine Art"  I will also be displaying one digital Fractal paintng, called "Flowers In Vase". My secret identity has been revealed! Hehe! You will see that my real name is displayed on some of the art in SL, as well as my Avatar name.
