Notice that just under the banner at the top of the blog is a new menu bar. There are now two tabs that when clicked will display a list of artists in the <b><a href="http://artisinmarket.blogspot.com/p/artists-at-twelve-oaks.html">Twelve Oaks</a></b> and <a href="http://artisinmarket.blogspot.com/p/artists-at-laurel-park.html"><b>Laurel Park Place</b></a> stores. If an artist has a web site, blog, shop, gallery, or other online presence displaying their work, clicking artist's name will open that page in a new browser window or tab.<br />
<br />
This is a work in progress and is still being updated. Several new artists have recently joined us, and there are still more to come, so please visit here often to see what's new at both stores!JCRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03800142197553531683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793879077792357839.post-5344474956696291342010-12-31T23:54:00.002-05:002011-01-01T00:43:54.207-05:00Happy New Year<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.liveatbestbuy.com/wp-content/files_flutter/1291666185happy-new-year-2011-odometer_design.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.liveatbestbuy.com/wp-content/files_flutter/1291666185happy-new-year-2011-odometer_design.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<b>Paul H. Adams'</b> book, <u>Watercolor Memories</u> takes you through his life as a painter from childhood to professional advertising illustrator to watercolor artist in retirement. The book is wonderfully illustrated with his early childhood work, examples of his meticulous commercial work, and concludes with a retrospect of both railroading and the city of Detroit from the 1940s into the 1970s. It's a delightful cruise down memory lane. <br />

Wild animals are my favorite models. The animal's personality is what I want to capture. My animal photographs and paintings make you feel as if you are stepping into the animal's world and perhaps sharing a special moment together.<br /><br />I also enjoy painting and photographing flowers, trees, sunrises and butterflies. More examples of my work may be viewed at Art-is-in Market and on my website:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.intriguingnatureart.com/" target="new">www.intriguingnatureart.com</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi1TlKS4dUl_AlvdY8stl9wsg5xjsAV4bNFrKkG5VyNx1-DqgVE-tOAa6rUTgQ_iuauOvIHiSuuZ4ZBHs8I1ql_rV0eHe4_BjM1cxW3-4cgt-ycx0piyUYsKa1tfnDwGdwIRwol7VM-c0/s1600-h/Winter-Sm.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi1TlKS4dUl_AlvdY8stl9wsg5xjsAV4bNFrKkG5VyNx1-DqgVE-tOAa6rUTgQ_iuauOvIHiSuuZ4ZBHs8I1ql_rV0eHe4_BjM1cxW3-4cgt-ycx0piyUYsKa1tfnDwGdwIRwol7VM-c0/s400/Winter-Sm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422222281625479666" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ43_bRu_kMFx6Zaq9l4lLEXZQaq2yp1txkMHyIf7166WC5-qKdgZSolCxYyHBOo3G2r-Rzuv2z-0eKPAo_pwuhCmiQlTVytnuYh2p1HgArOB_MBiD4H_Of6gSofNFSUOYqTyIRlVcrXQ/s1600-h/Winter-2-Med.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ43_bRu_kMFx6Zaq9l4lLEXZQaq2yp1txkMHyIf7166WC5-qKdgZSolCxYyHBOo3G2r-Rzuv2z-0eKPAo_pwuhCmiQlTVytnuYh2p1HgArOB_MBiD4H_Of6gSofNFSUOYqTyIRlVcrXQ/s400/Winter-2-Med.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422908940907687986" border="0" /></a>JCRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03800142197553531683noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793879077792357839.post-33988534613667678092009-12-31T12:45:00.001-05:002009-12-31T12:45:29.643-05:00Dropping the Ball<div style="text-align: center;">Tonight the ball drops at Times Square.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh67OLg8MgiUpvNaJzAJyZa-Q2kOI9-hHYDzgEa9c6ZEsFDmXiec2LQIJa9fE_U6-iiYY9Gqn7znXCu0Bc6wVk7myeci4PoiEKnUtRfGLL1-soxkhbwGgWxICzrZCw3eNXw7DIsfXcp8ZY/s1600-h/Times+Square+Ball.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 355px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh67OLg8MgiUpvNaJzAJyZa-Q2kOI9-hHYDzgEa9c6ZEsFDmXiec2LQIJa9fE_U6-iiYY9Gqn7znXCu0Bc6wVk7myeci4PoiEKnUtRfGLL1-soxkhbwGgWxICzrZCw3eNXw7DIsfXcp8ZY/s400/Times+Square+Ball.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421441480656212850" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have a Safe, Happy, and Prosperous New Year </span><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Deb & Bill LaPratt</span><br />and all of the Art-is-in Market artists<br /><br /><div>Paul H.

<div><div><br />
Patti often takes the term "mixed media" to the next level. A lettering artist by true definition, she is always working to develop creative new ways to express the written word. This month's collection does not disappoint and features both encaustic and printmaking techniques.<br />
<br />
</div><div>Encaustic is an age-old art form using beeswax, resin, and colored pigments as the painting medium. These luminous layers offer a unique and original work of art. Many of the pieces include vintage hymn pages which add to the old-world feel.</div>Van Dyke prints, lithographs, and serigraphs printed on handmade paper round out this month's collection. All of the pieces are hand-created by Patti, who uses images ranging from angels to city streetscapes. Many of the images are printed in a sepia tone which blend well with the vintage themes.<br />
In addition to the beautiful new framed works currently featured in our window, Patti has a large assortment of other framed and unframed works plus a collection of unusual decorative pieces.</div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 100%;"><br />

Here's how she describes her artistic outlook and process:</div><div></div><div><br />
</div><blockquote><div>"I have been drawing and painting as far back as I can remember. As a child I would create for the sheer joy of it, as well as a method of expressing sadness and pain. This, along with my love for people, is why I studied to become an art therapist. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Michigan State University and a Master of Education with certification in Art Therapy.<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>"My paintings all emerge from within me and grow out of themselves. It is truly a process that evolves over time. It can take me a few days or many years to complete a painting. Usually I am working on several paintings at one time. I sometimes put a painting away and don’t look at it for days, or even weeks, so that when I look at it again, it is with a fresh eye. The most rewarding times are when a painting just flows from me and there is no separation between me and my work. It literally gracefully flows through me.</div><div></div><div><br />
"I use acrylic paints and other materials to create my effects. The colors, textures, and images are layered using a glazing technique to create rich hues and values forming shapes and space. Playing with hues, values, and texture create depth and movement. The movement and spatial relationships within the painting make continuous connections. As in life, there are no distinct separations between people, nature, and our environment. I am fascinated by the interdependency of all life forms.<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>"Creating is a method of self-exploration for the artist and the viewer. No painting is completed by the artist. The viewer completes the creative process with his/her thoughts and feelings responding to each piece. I hope you find meaning in your participation in the creative act."</div><div></div><div><br />

I have a strong background in painting and printing. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Michigan State University and a Master of Art Education from Wayne State University.<br /><br />I am inspired by my love of flowers and nature. My main inspiration comes from my own Livonia garden. The garden has a wide array of flowers which includes sunflowers, lilies, daffodils, roses, passion flowers, calla lilies and wildflowers. Several bird feeding stations and flowering trees and bushes also add to my inspiration.<br /><br />I teach in Dearborn. I try to take my love of art and nature into my classroom so my students can develop their own love of nature and continue to observe, enjoy, and help preserve nature and wildlife.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">Susan Skibicki<br /></div></blockquote><br /><br />Here are a few examples of her work:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbzpzvjmlhkUFrQykzAEnJDS7ZtAAJEZ4csNgAls1I6C9wCpfJRQaVQyxFx4t-1BYAkNNz3Xwr5I5p2TPKcxuVM81Q7T0S2ZGTBc7rRy5xC9QsUjO3YL0scSLrq5_pG7Hz4TI3DTOPq8o/s1600-h/Blues&Reds-LR.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;
