A Vietnam Veterans Memorial painted with airbrush supported by John & Grace.
There are 2 to the series one in monotone gray the other is monotone color with subliminal flames, yet mellow. I have not had time to edit #2 yet, so check back.
The photograph doesn’t do justice, as there is a loss in translation. It seems almost impossible to shoot good pictures of a reflective surface and keep the detail, quickly.
The original painting has much detail and dimension and of course time in it.
The 2nd to the series is currently at the studio so fee free to come by and check it out, in person.
The second in the series will be looking for a public forum, to show off how much we Love our Veterans and the sorrow we share for the losses.
My heart felt sympathy goes to all who have loss and who currently serve in wartime.
Thanks! -m

Shovels rule

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what you learned from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them.
The boy’s father was speechless.

So- THANK YOU for being friends, collectors, dealers, publishers, gallery’s, clients, mechanics, donors, galvanize, web, etc.
You have all helped grow and shape who I am (my work) and who I have become.
Thank you for your patients, acceptance, time, support, guidance, love and understanding.
Although you are not my blood family, you have become better than.
I am grateful that through you all, I can do what I do and get paid for it.
As we have grown a community that is not ego driven, or one sided, but there for each other!
Thank you again!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
I look forward to the future!

Art Miami Project “T” 

Have you ever wanted to participate in Art Miami?

Well- come with sculptor miChelle M. Vara on this December art experience and adventure.

This is your chance to show support for a living artist with the purchase of a tee shirt!

The tee shirts are the best quality cotton we could buy, because miChelle’s partner hates to look or feel cheap! In the rich Texas Russet color and size of your choice.

For the donation of  $23.00 or more you can help an artist represent the normal Joe at this event!

 

With your support artist miChelle M. Vara will travel to Art Miami with a large orange horse sculpture named “Pot’ente”. The name in Italian means powerful.

She has chosen the name to represent the re-cycle movement in America and her commitment to reuse in art.

Pot”ente also is a metaphor for the overall size and color of the sculpture and event. Join us as artist/sculptor represents the hard working creative force known as the backbone of the Arts!

So there is not much time for you to help!
