This weeks Theme is Fake

IMG_0196

When I saw this weeks Photo Hunters theme I thought to myself “what can I photograph that represents fake”. I had no idea. Sure, I could have done some obvious things, but I like challenging myself.

Luckily, my husband and I some time on Saturday to go to Toronto’s 40th annual outdoor art exhibition. My nephew just graduated from the Ontario College of Art – specializing in photography and he had a booth at the art show where he was showing his photos.

He never even shows his immediate family, his parents, his photographs, so we figured it might be years before we’d get another chance to see his fabulous photography so we went to the show.

I had no idea it would be so large! There were 500 artists exhibiting everything from photographs to sculptures in wood, glass, clay, and stone, pottery, paintings, prints, metal artwork and many other forms of art.

I brought my new SLR camera with me and as luck would have it I found some “fake” artwork that would be perfect for the Photo hunter theme.

Now, I know I’m behind in posting my photo hunter photos (on three sites) but I think I found great items to post.

The photo above is of watering cans. Clay or pottery sculptures. They are not functional but they are lovely aren’t they?

I took a lot of great photos on Saturday, many of which will be perfect for this site – funny garden related sculptures. You’ll love them. Watch for them in upcoming posts.

Do you enjoy original artwork, or collect artwork as a form of investment? If you do, you might be interested in visiting www.BeautifulRealArt.com. This is a site that specializes in, and prides itself in selling original one of a kind pieces of art. Unlike most art galleries, Beautiful Real Art own and stock all of the original art pieces that they sell. If you’re interested in purchasing a piece of art from the site you’ll deal directly with the company.

I’ve spent some time looking over the website and I must say that there are some beautiful and amazing pieces of artwork for sale. There are photographs, drawings, oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, as well as sculptures and pottery. The artwork styles range from abstract to landscape, still life, wildlife, fantasy, floral, expressionist, impressionist, contemporary, to digital and real mixed media.

Beautiful Real Art only sells original works. They do not sell prints, copies, giclees or serigraphs. So you know that when you make a purchase that you are the only one that has that particular pieces of artwork.

My personal favorites, when visiting the site, are the sculptures, pottery and hand crafted glass pieces. I have a particular affection for pottery and there’s an orchid planter on the second page of the “all other Art” section that I just adore.

Beautiful Real Art also offers gift certificates that you might think of give as a birthday gift to another art lover. As someone who enjoys the works of talented artists I know I’d appreciate getting a gift certificate that would allow me to purchase a piece of original artwork over a gift certificate for a department store.

If you do decide to purchase a piece of art from the online store you’ll be pleased to know that the site is encrypted for your safety and protection. Once you’ve made a purchase you’ll receive your new artwork quickly as Beautiful Real Art is now offering free 2-day express shipping on all purchases.

I’ve bookmarked this site as I might make a purchase sometime in the near future. I plan on keeping an eye on this site and when a piece of art is available that suites my style, home, and perhaps decor I’ll be sure to purchase it.

Visit the site yourself and see the fine artwork they are selling.

Arrowhead Florist & Pottery

by

An online friend was telling me about a Florist in Lake Arrowhead Ca that she uses every now and then.

I just thought that I’d pass on her recommendation to any of my readers that might be in the Rimforest California area. She told me that it’s a family run business with fast friendly service. She’s purchased some floral arrangements that she was very pleased with.

I’d actually like to go there to check out their pottery. I’m a pottery fanatic and I’m sure if we had a bigger house our home would be full of pottery. Plates, bowls and gorgeous ceramic pots are my favorites.
