Visual Arts - January 2007

For my husband's birthday, I'd like to commission a portrait of his father, who died last year. I'm in the San Francisco Bay area. What's the best way to find an artist who'll do a good job? The artist would have to work from photographs, of course.

one can draw a circle by using a piece of string attached to a pencil rotated around a central point. An oval shape can be done using a similar method. I've seen it done; but I don't remember how.

I have to take some photographs for my job, and the boxes have acetate cover. How do I take the pictures without creating a glare on the covers, but making it light enough to shoot properly?

This is one of the most difficult jobs to me when creating a work of art. It goes for paintings, photoshop work, music, antything. When do i leave things nicely rough, when do i work on all the details for days and days? And then most important: when do i stop working on it and call it finished. Sometimes i feel exactly when that moment is there, too often i spoil it by working too long on it. How to recognize or plan when to finish an art work?

I found this statue in an antique shop. Japanese characters inscribed are Tsu Sun.
I found a photo of a much larger statue on a tourist's post of someone having visited the Inuyama area.
Does anyone know the name of the artist?

Im deperatly trying to find the name of the painting or the artist who painted a very famous picture. It was very popular in the 60's and 70's. Its of a woman, who is rather oriental looking. She has been painted with a blue face and very red lips and she is wearing a gold detailed top. The whole painting is quite dark
If anyone could help me i would be eternally grateful!!!

I'm trying to get more involved in street photography/ candid shots, and I was wondering: can I take pictures of people without their permission? i mean if they're on the street or something, not in their houses or, say, the toilet. I know in many cases it's more polite, but I mean legally/ ethically...

I stopped painting after a back injury 5 years ago, it resulted in shoulder, back, neck surgery and I stopped painting due to pain. I went through several more surgeries and 3 years of therapy. I just got out of the habit of painting.

This summer my mother died of cancer, I spent 5 weeks living with her in the hospice. She talked to me about painting again and not waiting any longer to resume it. I knew she was right, I was excited about it at the time. But by the time I came home after assisting my grandmother and uncle with her affairs, etc. I was exhausted basically just came home and collapsed. Then got caught up in day to day family life.

Now with the New Year here I really want to honor my promise to her and begin painting, but I can't seem to get the excitement back. I would welcome any ideas from anyone on how to get excited and get back into the art I love so much.

Hi. I saw this painting in an art store so I assume its a pretty famous piece of art. In the background there was a rainforest setting.. mostly green. I remember the two fairies were greenish as well. If you're familiar with this painting or are an art buff and think you know.. can you please help me out. I think this would be a great b-day present for one of my friends.

I remember seeing other fairy paintings from this same artist. They are not cartoonish.. pretty realistic. Not sure what category this falls under.

In any case, I've searched the internet for hours and have had no luck with this. If you've seen this painting before or know the artist or title of the painting, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Sorry for being so vague.. and thanks in advance. (hopefully)
-Alvin
