12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIFT-GIVING
DAY 1:
ART CAN LEAD YOU TO WORLDS BEYOND YOUR IMAGINATION
CATALAN SPAIN and MALLORCA
10 DAYS IN PARADISE
HUGH ARNOLD'S
CONSTELLATION leads you to your next adventure....
There are only three available worldwide and only one in the United States. CONSTELLATION, a
Lambda Chromogenic print mounted on Dibond and Acrylic. At 40" x 117",
it is the pièce de résistance of the AGUA NACIDA series. With the
purchase of this magnificent masterpiece of photography, we have created
a journey of dreams for four people with entré to the idyllic island of
Mallorca via Barcelona.
Our
trip begins in the Catalan city of Barcelona, where we experience the
romance, the sights, sounds and tastes of the Spain that Picasso, Dali,
Miro, Tapies and the plethora of Spanish artists and poets shared in the
"Barcelona de las Artes." In addition, we will experience
Mediterranean gastronomy with the atmosphere of flamenco.
Majorca
is a jewel in the Mediterranean landscape, blessed with imposing
mountains, wonderful bays and beaches, as well as an ideal climate,
almost all-year-round. The art and culture scene's beating heart can be
found in the island's capital Palma de Mallorca, whose museums and art
galleries are comparable with anything on the international circuit.
If
you are looking for a journey that will fill your heart and ease your
soul, this is the one that will sweep you off your feet and land you in a
state of bliss for decades to come. When Joseph Campbell said "follow
your bliss," he must have been referring to Mallorca...And when you
return home from this idyllic adventure, Hugh Arnold's "CONSTELLATION"
will be waiting to greet you as a reminder of the most exquisite journey
of your life.... CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION

"STEVEN TYLER-TRUE LOVE"
by ZACK WHITFORD
Archival digital print
16 x 20 inches
$1,550
Critically acclaimed
emerging artist Zack Whitford made a big splash during his first show in
Chicago. His works of Aerosmith juxtaposed alongside the moving images
of people throughout his travels have inspired and enthralled collectors
from around the world.
"Whether
I am making a portrait of a monk in Bhutan or of an American rock star
on the side streets of Istanbul, the one absolute parallel in what I am
trying to convey to the viewer is the simple humanity found in one's
eyes, body language or facial expression. That unspoken sense of 'Here
we are - all in it together." - Zack Whitford SHOP

DAY 4:
"COMING HOME" by EVE OZER
Mixed Media Collage
Mixed
media on cradle board. Molding paste, rusty object, screens, altered
photograph, image transfer, rice paper with Chinese letters, acrylic.
Horses are a favorite subject of Chicago-based
artist, Eve Ozer. She states, "My work bends reality by layering
universally understood images in abstract and surrealistic settings. It
reflects this energetic motion through abstract calligraphy, spatters,
pours and a reductive process using wet paint and water. Elementary
elements."

"ROD STEWART'S FOOTBALL MATCH" by CARINTHIA WEST
Silver Gelatin Print
16 x 20 inches
$1,450
"My
friend and roommate, model and photographer, Rory Flynn, (The shapely
bum on the right, and the daughter of Errol Flynn), her friend Diane
(left) and I used to hang out at Rod Stewart's football match every
Saturday in Coldwater Canyon. Everyone who was anyone in rock and roll
used to congregate there, and most of the guys ended up playing. At any
one time you'd have half the Rolling Stones, The Faces, or The Who on
the field. Plus, producers like Ian La Frenais (who wrote 'Porridge') or
actors Ian McShane or David Hemmings. It was all shouting and swearing
on the pitch. The guy on the right is Paul Nichols, the drummer from
Widowmaker, and if you look carefully in the background on the right,
you'll see Rod Stewart. This photograph is one of my favorites, and gave
me the title for my archive: 'Hanging Out.' ...no one is posing, it is
just the way we were... being young, having fun..."- Carinthia West

"GEORGE HARRISON & MAHARISHI, INDIA, 1968"
by PATTIE BOYD
Archival Pigment Print on Cotton Rag Paper
16 x 20 inches
$2,100
George is captured here showing Maharishi some polaroids during a lecture.
Pattie Boyd was instrumental in the
Beatle's and particularly George Harrison's interest in India and
Eastern philosophy and music. It was on her suggestion that they go to
meet Maharishi and explore Transcendental Meditation which soon became a
major feature of George's daily life.
"While we were in Rishikesh at
Maharishi's ashram studying meditation, there were occasionally intimate
talks just for the Beatles. Clearly a lot more meditators were
expected, as you can see in the background of this photograph an Indian
builder on a rooftop. In the foreground George-wearing a pretty, floral
Deborah and Clare shirt-is showing something to the Maharishi." - Pattie Boyd

The book presents
a collection of more than 60 recipes that offer readers a culinary journey of
this warm and vibrant cuisine. In a refreshing departure from many French
cookbooks, de Mélogue engagingly and humorously riffs on his favorite
traditional dishes, throwing in a contemporary variation or two, adding some
food history here, some anecdotes there, and throughout the book, sharing his
passion and respect for the art of Provençal cooking. 
De Mélogue offers his
family's epic picnic of a simple grilled Loup de Mer with Artichokes Barigoule.
He sends garlic and herbs.
He transports them to the old port in Marseille, enticed by the scent of his
Mussels steamed in Pastis with Spanish Chorizo, Leeks and Piquillo Peppers. 
Limited Edition

By
the time he attended the prestigious New England Culinary Institute as a young
