Classy Gifts

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

I am looking for some artists gifts for my Father for his birthday. I am not sure exactly what to get him but I am hoping to broaden his experience of art by buying some things that he has not used before. I thought that some stretched canvas might be a good idea as he does not have any. Then I was wondering whether he might like some new materials or paper or whether something else might suit.

I called my Mum to discuss it with her. She reminded me that I would need to get some stretcher bars to help with the canvas which is something that I had forgotten about. In the end we agreed to meet up so that she could come with me in order to help me to choose the right things. She said that she would be looking at the portfolio cases anyway as she was going to be buying him one for his birthday and wanted to see what sort of things were available. It should be great fun, we have not been on a shopping trip together for quite a while and we will make a whole day of it and have some lunch out too, I am looking forward to it!

Impressionist Paintings by renowned painters

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Paintings are always heart touching and there is nothing to excite when people turn dumbstruck on looking at the sizzling and sensuous painting. There are plenty of far-famed painters of ancient days. Few of them were noted ahead the crowd and one such famed painter is none other than Van Gogh. Van Gogh was one of the eminent painters of ancient times. Van Gogh paintings are one of the exquisite pieces of art. The oil paintings by Van Gogh are most sought after pieces of art. He was a moody painter and it is known that he himself destroyed his first creation. Some of the surviving paintings from the genius include the cottage, the old tower and others.

Impressionist paintings evolved in Paris in about 19th century. One of the leading genres of paintings in this genre is Monte paintings. The type is defined by some exquisite brush strokes, light colors and lucid creativity. The paintings emphasize on light and its effects. Short but deft strokes from the paint brush brought out the central essence of the painting. The painters generally liked to work in tandem with nature. The painting is consistent with the light at the time of painting. Impressionist paintings are based on contemporary subjects.

Gense reunited? Its saying my cousin is me? how can I change it?

On my family tree its showing my cousins girlfriend as me, its showing I have hot matches with myself, and click to e-mail myself!

Many moons ago I exported my GR tree to my computer hard drive once and lost nearly all the data I had put in - marriages disappeared and so did several people and it managed to knock myself off number 1 position of the tree in favour of a cousin so everytime I started my work it went to his details instead of mine - if I was to reload my tree to GR as it is at the moment, I’d probably have the same problem as you (it would think I am my cousin as he is now the No1 person and I haven’t been able to change it back) which is why I haven’t bothered with the upload or export tools since. Two years on I’m still trying to fix all the info that went ******** on me and re-enter the info. GR didn’t want to know about losing half my data, though they did stop tree exports for a while until they issued a fix to the software after several other people reported issues as well. Nice to know that our complaints worked and the system is still as good as it ever was!

Try making sure that you are still person #1 in your tree file. I’m willing to bet you’re not. If you can move yourself back to top spot somehow and re-upload to GR, you should be alright. Don’t ask me how you do that though! Some kind of bug in their software still I guess. You should export/import as little as possible or it will just get corrupted again. Try exporting it as a different filetype. My program offers several choices - the default is FTW, but try changing it to a basic Gedcom (GED) file instead. GRs software might handle it better in a different file format.

Ways of dealing with rejection?

Every actor faces rejection at least a few times (usually way more) throughout their career. So my question is, what are some ways of dealing with rejection? Whether it’s listening to a favorite song or punching a pillow, everyone has some way of dealing, so what are a few that have worked repeatedly for some of you?

Learn from the rejection! Do things differently. Try alternate monologues, wear different outfits, get coaching. Don’t keep doing the same thing over and over again. If it isn’t working than mix it up and try something new.

Also find your “brand” if you keep getting cast as the dumb blonde, than know that is a role you can get work from. The difficult part comes when you want to expand yourself. You may have to learn to act all over again, and will have to make some drastic changes in order to diversify your parts.
