Their main objective is to market these homes to that segment of the population who see the value in the architecture. Susan has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Dwell Magazine, Modernism Magazine, Cincinnati Magazine and the Cincinnati Enquirer. She has also appeared on HGTV Pro and HGTV's 'What You Get For the Money.' In 2008 she co-authored the book '50 from the 50's: Midcentury Architecture and Interiors in Cincinnati.' Arlen has 15 years of experience in the mortgage industry, 25 years sales experience, and is an experienced remodeler of midcentury homes.<br /><br />They were cool to spread the word about the <a href="http://http://www.myspace.com/timhindemusic">F Holes</a>, who are a local Cincinnati musical group. Apparently, Tim, of the F Holes wrote a song about Charley called "Charley's Cardinal". Tres cool! We would like to hear this!<br /><br />And for those visiting or even living in Cincinnati, check <a href="http://www.space513.com/main.html">Space513</a>, a fantastic interactive website of places and things to see and do in the Queen City.

The article talks about how each designer is given their own space with a inspiration board. Well, on page 17, at the bottom, is a photo of <a href="http://www.bradenwise.net/">Braden Wise</a>'s inspiration board. And wouldn't you know that Braden has filled his inspiration board with Charley Harper pieces? Cheers, Braden!

Although Charley was against computers, the <a href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/">Charley Harper Art Studio</a> does realize the value of them to help support and maintain business. This brave new medium is a tool, just like the french curve and protractor commonly used to create so many of the popular Harper designs.<br />Unfortunately, when it rains, it pours. And it poured technological mayhem on us this week. Its a good thing there are some really good people who care about our digital issues out there. We just want to send a big thank you to <a href="http://www.aacomputersplus.com/home">All About Computers Plus</a>, at 907 West North Bend Rd, here in Finneytown, OH, for all their great work. We love how they always tell us the problem, the issues, and the fixes without trying to force us to buy or upgrade anything that doesn't need be. Rae always takes computer issues so emotionally and personally when dealing with us. We like that sort of honesty. Wouldn't the world be a happier place if there was a bit more of that out there? And Devin and Eric, the tech guys, are as good as it comes for working on PC's and not blowing smoke about why the computers may not be working. Another quality we appreciate about people.<br /><br />Thanks <a href="http://www.aacomputersplus.com/home">All About Computers Plus</a>!!!<br /><br />ps. they do custom builds and mods, too.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-4343303646594521172?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-45544481583050140172010-03-18T14:08:00.001-07:002010-03-18T14:11:53.413-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www%2Echarleyh@charleyharperartstudio.com/images/blog/BeeforBlog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 298px; height: 198px;" src="http://www%2Echarleyh@charleyharperartstudio.com/images/blog/BeeforBlog.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>The first crocuses of spring have bloomed in Edie's garden and the bees have already found them.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-4554448158305014017?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-66895204833890925682010-03-04T13:14:00.000-08:002011-11-28T02:18:04.468-08:00This just in, <a href="https://charleyharperartstudio.com/">Charley Harper Art Studio</a> director, Rena, is stressed.<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DivineIguana" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S5AjS18q3SI/AAAAAAAAAIU/_ZsWEH2hBug/s400/IMG_9872.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444890756117093666" /></a><br /><br />Gussy, the cat, on the other hand, says, "Life is good."<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S5Aj2-Xbu9I/AAAAAAAAAIc/xptph3lkN9c/s1600-h/IMG_0220.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S5Aj2-Xbu9I/AAAAAAAAAIc/xptph3lkN9c/s400/IMG_0220.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444891376852122578" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-6689520483389092568?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-83510278097754815752010-03-04T12:30:00.000-08:002010-03-04T12:53:52.375-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S5AdVfF2AyI/AAAAAAAAAIM/MfKDRCJJbhU/s1600-h/athena-240.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S5AdVfF2AyI/AAAAAAAAAIM/MfKDRCJJbhU/s200/athena-240.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444884204451398434" /></a><br />Can we tell you how much we like the <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/32/1487347/restaurant/College-Hill-Mt-Healthy/Athena-Foods-Cincinnati">Athena Foods</a>, at 8548 Winton Road, in Cincinnati? It is truly a great little Greek deli. Delicious gyro, greek yogurt, homemade desserts, bulk dry goods, herbs and spices, Greek wine, olive oil, olives, good prices, tables to sit in and relax.... we could go on and on. As we sit here in the <a href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com">studio</a> and bliss out after having a delicious lunch of olives, dolmas, and gyros, we wonder why there isn't hardly any web presence for them. Where's the webpage or blog with a list of wines, a menu, etc? And when will there be mousaka?! If you are a frequent City Beat reader, you may have seen pics and write-ups, though. We can't wait til they have an on-license so we can go sit there, listen to traditional Greek and Cretian music, have a glass of wine and gnosh on olives and end with a piece of baklava. Does it get much better? <br /><br />If you're looking for it in Finneytown, its next door to Hong Kong Kim's Kwon Do studio,in the strip right next to the CVS on Winton across from the Applebees. Don't go to Applebee's. Go to Athena.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-8351027809775481575?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-73719403890865840062010-03-04T10:39:00.000-08:002010-03-14T10:42:23.357-07:00News, news and more gnus.<br /><br />Snow is melting and green grass is showing. All the fat little gray squirrels are outside the studio door rooting around rather than trying to get into the birdfeeders. Brett just picked up another bag of seed and as he was preparing to put it away, some of our local avian neighbors figured out what it was and broke into it before he had a chance to even open it himself!<br /><br />Also with the change of season comes <a href="http://www.habitatfootwear.com/">Habit Footwear's</a> new spring line. Check out page 24 of the <a href="http://www.habitatfootwear.com/catalog">spring catalog</a> for the Charley Harper Artist Series! That's right, lo-cut and hi-top sneakers featuring Charley Harper's artwork. Both are part of a matching set of sneakers and skate decks.

We do. For those that don't know, "Atomic Ranch celebrates midcentury houses—from 1940s ranch tracts to 1960s architect-designed modernist homes. With an emphasis on affordable solutions and homeowner renovations... quarterly magazine shows you how to make your house cool, both inside and out." As a matter of fact, the <a href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/">Charley Harper Art Studio</a> is located in a midcentury custom built ranch home. The <a href="http://www.atomic-ranch.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=1&amp;products_id=36">spring edition</a> features Charley and the studio's work. Karen Bartos, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, provides a nice right up of how they decorated she and her husband's ranch home with Harper art. Then on pg. 38 the <a href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/">Charley Harper Art Studio</a> is featured under "Cool Stuff"! Right next to the Star Trek fans and fly-away winged overhead lamps. Thanks for the love <a href="http://www.atomic-ranch.com/">Atomic Ranch</a>, and nice design layout!<br /><br />We at the Harper studio, would like to take a minute to say thank you to <a href="http://www.treglowndesigns.com/">Treglown Designs</a>. When Edie passed, they sent us a box of sugar cookies made to look like Harper ladybugs and cardinals! We finally broke down today and broke into them. It must be the nice weather that inspired it.

Friday night found us downtown attempting to go to long-time <a href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com">Charley Harper Art Studio</a> supporter, the <a href="http://http://www.contemporaryartscenter.org">Contemporary Art Center</a>, for the Shepard Fairey opening. The thing is, as we get older, we don't quite find ourselves needing to make "the scene" and not to mention, it takes a bit longer to get out the door. By the time we got to downtown Cincinnati there was a line all the way around the block. So, rather than stand around in the chill, we walked up the street and enjoyed a steamed bagel sandwich at <a href="http://eatgbad.com/default.php">Gilpins Bagel & Deli</a>. Excellent sandwich, mediocre service. Never made it into the CAC. It looked like fun. Lots of young people dancing and enjoying the time. Most of our readers are probably familiar with Fairey's Obama poster with the words "HOPE". Well, this young whippersnapper has been making all sorts of artwork for quite sometime borrowing from Russian Constructivism and the visage on the late great pro-wrestler, Andre the Giant. "Andre the Giant Has a Posse". You can see some of his latest graphic mural work adorning select walls throughout Cincinnati, currently. Our only real criticism - put them up higher so the younger kids have room to practice on a blank wall instead of a on top a nice mural. That's all.<br />We finished that evening off listening to delightful young musical group from Columbus called <a href="http://www.myspace.com/saintseneca">Saint Seneca</a>. Not sure what to call the sound, some of it was overly dramatic coffee-house angst, but most of it was upbeat, driven acoustic spiritualistic folk. Kudos to the young folks over at the <a href="http://www.last.fm/venue/8980899">Bike Haus</a> for allowing opening us up to good energy.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S4LsqahB0uI/AAAAAAAAAG0/bDaqZypKEqs/s1600-h/20thcincy.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 126px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S4LsqahB0uI/AAAAAAAAAG0/bDaqZypKEqs/s200/20thcincy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441171513233494754" /></a>Now its Monday, and we have the upcoming <a href="http://www.20thcenturycincinnati.com">15th Annual 20th Century Cincinnati</a> show this weekend that we are preparing for as well as our show at Castor and Pollux in Brighton, UK.<br />"20th Century Cincinnati is the Queen City's annual retrospective of the forward looking design trends introduced between the First World War and the Computer Age.

She's a Philadelphia based designer who works in our favorite fashion - MINIMALISM!!! YAYYYY!!! But seriously, Eleanor is a big fan of the <a href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com">Harpers</a>, and bless her heart, she sent the studio some of her personal prints last year. We think she does fabulous stuff over there at <a href="http://www.pushmepullyoudesign.com/">Push Me Pull You Design</a>. We think her Keds shoes are perfect for wearing around our own studio. 7 and a half, Eleanor!! Just kidding. What about men's? She's got great slip-ons for wearing around the house. Size 10, also, Eleanor! We recommend taking the time to peruse her portfolio gallery and the about section of her website.

Back in 1996 Ranger Rick magazine ran a great piece on Charley and his ladybug artwork. Those little red critturs were a personal favorite of his. "Enchanted", as he put it.

Could it get much better? Almost everything was closed down today after Cincinnati received a few inches of wintry blanketing. Almost. The <a href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com">Charley Harper Art Studio</a> was active. Brett was snowed in, but Rena was able to plow through to make sure the cat's were ok and ongoing business was not falling behind. What a trooper! Next time you see her, tell her how much you appreciate all the hard work she puts in to make sure the Harper legacy is sprinkled upon the world like the soft downy feathers falling from the breast of a great horned owl hunting mice. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S3ILQvLGq0I/AAAAAAAAAGM/tDZ9LHQ0bNs/s1600-h/snowy+owl.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S3ILQvLGq0I/AAAAAAAAAGM/tDZ9LHQ0bNs/s200/snowy+owl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436420082358463298" /></a>What started as big fluffy flakes are now fine crystals blown about by a Jack Frost gale. Wonderful weather to curl up in a warm nest rather than trying to forage beneath the firs for nuts and seeds. Or in the case of all the wildlife around the studio, taking turns at the fully stocked feeders. Its a great day for going out and identifying and following animal tracks. A great place to go find out about backyard wildlife and how to help them through these months would be <a href="http://www.wildbird.com/">Wild Bird Centers of America</a>.

There are flowers poking up out of the bed of leaves on the ground and we're looking at a possible snow storm tomorrow. So close to spring, maybe winter will go out with a bang. Funny how we like to talk about the weather when we're not sure what to say. The loss of Edie is still running deep here. Pushing forward and putting the studio's energy to new products and business is helping. Little things make a difference, too.

A dreamy child, she moved with her parents to Liberty, Missouri, when her father chose to open a short-order restaurant. On trips to see relatives on their farms and small ranches in the Sand Hills of Nebraska, she developed a lifelong love for animals and the vast, lonely expanses of the Middle West. <br /><br />The family moved again, to Cincinnati, in the 1930s when Edie’s father landed a position with Procter & Gamble. They lived in an apartment on Springfield Pike while Edie attended Wyoming High School (graduating in 1939), all the while creating art at a level beyond her actual years. The desire for formal art training burned in her heart. So in 1940 the respected Art Academy of Cincinnati welcomed Edie as one of its most eager new admissions. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/images/AllThingsEdie/Edie%20Art/IMG_0036.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 95px; height: 180px;" src="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/images/AllThingsEdie/Edie%20Art/IMG_0036.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a>On the first day of the program, on the steps of the administration building, Edie met an equally earnest young man from West Virginia, Charley Harper. In classes and conversations, she learned that he shared her admiration of painters such as Miro and Klee. They studied printmaking with the Stampers and were fortunate enough to spend a semester with legendary Josef Albers, visiting to teach his Color Theory course. For several years afterwards Albers sent Edie his hand-screened Christmas cards. <br /><br />When Charley was drafted for service in World War II, Edie interrupted her classes to aid the war effort in a civilian capacity. She photographed hydro dams and cement test samples and processed the film in the lab for the Corps of Engineers. Later, she would receive critical acclaim for the black and white photographs she took with her 8 x 10 camera employing her own imaginative subject matter. This resulted in an exhibition at the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S19rvdTNtyI/AAAAAAAAAF8/ElLEwFp-03Y/s1600-h/charley+crooked+tie.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 140px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/S19rvdTNtyI/AAAAAAAAAF8/ElLEwFp-03Y/s200/charley+crooked+tie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431178138695350050" /></a>Soon after the war, Edie and Charley resumed their studies at the Academy. Following graduation in 1947, they embarked on a six-month camping honeymoon throughout America. Edie kept an illustrated journal. Every day they sketched and painted, occasionally the same natural setting, and compared the results. <br /> <br />Upon their return from the honeymoon, Edie and Charley maintained separate studios in the basement of Edie’s parents’ home in Roselawn. The young couple helped care for Edie’s father, who had multiple sclerosis, and were able to save Charley’s earnings from his day job at Schaten Studio. In 1953 Edie gave birth to their son, Brett, named after California photographer Brett Weston. Throughout the 1950s Edie continued painting, supplemented by a rich output of jewelry, contemporary photography, enameling, sculpture, and silkscreen prints. <br /><br />In the 1960s Edie added weaving to the roster of media she had mastered. During this decade she converted to acrylic paint and completed a series of grid-centric images.

As you go down the streets you see so many houses lit with a multitude of colored lights. Its as if we live in a gingerbread city. There was even gorgeous dusting of snow over everything yesterday morning. This, of course, isn't much compared to other parts of the US right now, but it was really nice.<br /><br />If you find yourself in the Cincinnati area for the holidays take the time to drive around at night. Galbraith Road is especially fantastic. As is the Cincinnati Zoo's <a href="http://www.cincinnatizoo.org/events/pnc_festival_lights.html">Festival of Lights</a>. <a href="http://www.myfountainsquare.com/tree">Fountain Square</a>, in the heart of downtown has outdoor ice skating underneath a gigantic holiday tree. If you get down by there early enough, walk over to 139 E. 4th St. for the 64th Annual Holiday Train Display. Because this is such a train town, you can go look at more holiday train displays at the <a href="http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story/Holiday-Toy-Trains-Open-In-Devou-Park/hZz3h1Dr6kCRkGLpxnqJsw.cspx">Behringer-Crawford Museum</a>, in Devou Park, just over the river in Kentucky, or take a quick drive up to the neighborhood of St. Bernard's Municipal Center to see the <a href="http://www.cincinnatiusa.com/calendar/event.asp?ProdID=93310">Queen City Hi-Railers</a> display a 3-rail O-gauge modular railroad; and if you just haven't had enough Christmas trains, then head over to the Cincinnati Museum Center and visit <a href="http://www.cincymuseum.org/explore_our_sites/special_exhibits_events/current_exhibits/HolidayJunction.asp">Holiday Junction</a>.<br /><br />If you're interested in shopping, there is plenty of that in the area, too. In fact, head over to the <a href="http://www.cincynature.org/events/charlie-harper-art-show-12909-123109.html">Cincinnati Nature Center</a> this weekend for the opening of the Charley Harper Art Show. Opening Reception runs from 1pm to 3pm, Saturday, December 12th. The show runs from Dec. 9-31, 2009, 10am - 5pm. Prints, posters, silkscreens, and more will be available for purchase.

Did you change your clocks? Are you ready to visit us at the <a href="http://www.winnetkamodernism.com">20th Modernism Show</a>, at Winnetka, Illinois this weekend? What could be better than visiting Chicago and coming by to say hi to us? This volunteer-produced show is in the Winnetka Community House, at 620 Lincoln Ave., Winnetka, IL. It runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 7 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 8. There's a special preview party on Nov. 6th. from 6:30 to 9:30 and the cost includes show admission. There is also a VIP breakfast with Jan Parr at 9 a.m. Nov. 7, the cost of which also includes show admission.<br /><br />"Modernism encompasses art movements that began in the late 19th century when artists, architects and designers were seeking a way to shed the stuffy, lavishly decorated style of the Victorian era. Clean lines, simple style, and sleek materials are among the hallmarks of Modernism. Well-known modernist slogans include, “Less is more,” and “Form follows function”."<br /><br />The Winnetka Community House is a non-profit recreational, educational, and cultural arts organization serving the North Shore of Chicago. Founded in 1911 as a nondenominational gathering place for the village, the Community House’s programs sprang to life immediately with a variety of activities for all ages. Today, the Winnetka Community House welcomes more than 250,000 visitors annually.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-1992035677464964861?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-32504912959968516192009-10-28T13:40:00.000-07:002009-10-28T14:12:11.135-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SuiyNRTx9OI/AAAAAAAAAFY/CnkpBW_ZxsI/s1600-h/halloween+demonskull.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 204px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SuiyNRTx9OI/AAAAAAAAAFY/CnkpBW_ZxsI/s320/halloween+demonskull.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397760094457951458" /></a><br />OK, a break from packing orders and getting ready for Trick-r-Treating!

That's right. He had the son of the gentleman that built the house convert the open-air carport into a fully functional enclosed studio!<br /><br /><br />And finally, please remember, when you're out as goblins and ghouls running amuck for treats, stay out of caves. The bats that live there are hibernating and nobody likes to be woken up from a deep slumber.<br /><br />If we don't post again before Halloween, carve us up a good pumpkin, leave us out something tasty for the trick-r-treatin' and put on a good scary costume to frighten off bad spirits and we'll see you next time!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-1157639998486377269?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-82398669599250488702009-09-23T12:44:00.000-07:002009-10-08T09:22:52.806-07:00Whew!!

Jill had the top of her new prosthesis covered in Charley Harper birds. We had been hearing about this for a couple of months and were glad to have her visit the studio to show it off. Jill said the last thing she would see before surgeries on her leg at Cincinnati Children's Hospital were Charley Harper's bird's that decorated the hospital walls. Wow.

We know a bunch of you are bigtime bird watchers, so hopefully you'll stop by the Charley Harper Art Studio booth and say hi to Rena. Be nice to her, please. She makes good things happen here at the studio.<br />The Symposium runs from September 17th thru the 20th. That's means you shouldn't be reading this!! You should be in Lakeside, OH!!<br /><br /><br />There are more shows coming up in November and things are hopping here in Cincinnati. <br />It was even a little bit brisk this morning. Time for your fall gardens. Garlic, cabbage, onions.... bird migrations will be soon. The owl was hooting at us in the middle of the day. Really. he just hangs out around here.

Oily fire fire seperating from a grey liquid crystal smoke billowing in a flow like ice against the black of night's window.. Its not yet for sale, but wouldn't it make a really great print?

The studio is surrounded by pawpaw trees and we have a pawpaw pie in the fridge with some butter pecan ice cream in the freezer to top it with. Mmmmmmm. Just can't leave it on the counter or one of the cats will have themselves a snack!<br /><br />As you can see by the title of this blog, the Charley Harper Art Studio has joined the technological revolution and you can now follow all the up-to-date happenings of ours at <a href="http://twitter.com/CharleyHarper">http://twitter.com/CharleyHarper</a>.<br /><br />Check out Drake Brodahl's blog and homage to Charley Harper. <a href="http://pumml.blogspot.com/2009/08/quail-run.html">http://pumml.blogspot.com/2009/08/quail-run.html</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SqfpGTIA16I/AAAAAAAAADI/UxfmkinYuTw/s1600-h/SandyandShag2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SqfpGTIA16I/AAAAAAAAADI/UxfmkinYuTw/s200/SandyandShag2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379524574339717026" /></a>And check out the studio's very own Sandy Crouse hanging out with retro hip cool cat artist,Shag, at the Denver Modernism show.

Thank you all very much. And a special hello to the dog that made off with poor Sandy's breakfast while she was trying to get some work done. Bad dog!

Keep an eye out here on the blog for digital reprints of those to peruse from time to time. Truly a treausury of great Americana.

Give it a read and leave a comment!<br /><br />The studio would like to thank Ms. Sharon Phelps for stopping by and showing us her original quilted rendition of "Twoowls". We've had a good number of people ask if quilt patterns of Charley's works are available. The answer to that is the Charley Harper estate does not have licensed quilt patterns available. We encourage you to make your own and share them with each other and us! Send us pictures of your Charley Harper creations! Ms. Phelps says that she would gladly share her own pattern with anyone that is interested. please contact the studio and we will put you in touch with her.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/Sp__hFA6HvI/AAAAAAAAACw/ljI5LOgSE5s/s1600-h/quilt_Twoowls_SharonPhelps.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/Sp__hFA6HvI/AAAAAAAAACw/ljI5LOgSE5s/s200/quilt_Twoowls_SharonPhelps.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377297423850413810" /></a><br /><br />As we encourage you to create your own quilt patterns, Charley Harper cross stitch patterns are available from <a href="patrogers3@sbcglobal.net">Pat Rogers' Counted Collection</a>. Charley Harper needlepoint patterns are available from <a href="treglowndesigns@hotmail.com">Treglown Designs</a>. Please purchase from these retailers or create your own. There are bootleg versions out there. Even if they are of decent quality, none of the sales of such go to the support of the Charley Harper family and estate.<br /><br />Now some quick trivia!! Did you know that it was the Ford Times' Art Director, Arthur Lougee, that got Charley to start painting birds?<br /><br />In an effort to share some behind the scenes of the Charley Harper Art Studio, let's take a moment out of each blog to list a title from the vast reference library here. Today's title is Water, Prey, and Game Birds of North America. This is a National Geographic Society book by Alexander Wetmore loaded with many full color photos and drawings. If you saw the copy here, you would realize what a valuable resource this was and how much it used!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-1412212661841121494?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-55041045709846403092009-09-03T09:55:00.001-07:002009-09-03T10:06:50.314-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/Sp_2oou1WII/AAAAAAAAACo/zjudy3TQZu8/s1600-h/Tree-of-Life.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 178px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/Sp_2oou1WII/AAAAAAAAACo/zjudy3TQZu8/s200/Tree-of-Life.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377287658092714114" /></a><br />Hello world!!

These lost paintings include many of Charley's beloved bird series among many other beautiful works. No one knew the whereabouts of any of the bird or fish originals for Charley's Ford times silkscreen prints. In many instance no one knew that original paintings of some of these were ever made! The discovery of these paintings came as a surprise even to Charley's son Brett. "I felt like I was opening a buried treasure chest that had been locked up for more than 35 years."<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />The Estate and Studio have already respectfully declined several immediate offers for portions of the priceless collection. Brett believes that as the market begins to understand what the collage originals of birds, fish, and travel series represent—the rarest of the rare—collectors will be stunned.<br /></div><br />Brett will be on hand to personally introduce this new collection at an opening at Fabulous Frames and Art, one of our longest standing retailers, from 11 am-5 pm Saturday, July 11th. This local show will run from July 11th through August 8th. From there we hope the collection will continue to travel the country in a series of exhibitions in various cities yet to be determined.<br /><br />For more information on the collection, contact the studio at 513-522-0545 or by e-mail at CharleyHarperArtStudio@gmail.com.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SjkLJ-WPewI/AAAAAAAAABI/xv6BnkmsTDk/s1600-h/Barn-Swallow.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0px 20px 20pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 142px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SjkLJ-WPewI/AAAAAAAAABI/xv6BnkmsTDk/s200/Barn-Swallow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348318298462190338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SjkMfC7EdhI/AAAAAAAAABg/28yLuHgxuvw/s1600-h/Owl-with-Mouse.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 20px 20pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 79px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SjkMfC7EdhI/AAAAAAAAABg/28yLuHgxuvw/s200/Owl-with-Mouse.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348319759979279890" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SjkLuUtXBiI/AAAAAAAAABY/dZQyxyZORu0/s1600-h/Glass+Bottles.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 20px 20px; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 138px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WVFnlney4Fg/SjkLuUtXBiI/AAAAAAAAABY/dZQyxyZORu0/s200/Glass+Bottles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348318922940024354" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Show opening July 11 11am-5pm<br />Show Runs July 11-August 8<br />Fabulous Frames and Art<br />10817 Montgomery rd<br />Cincinnati, OH 45231<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7704097354773137732-1030578279627373048?l=charleyharper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>News From the Harper Art Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02018821902142719764noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704097354773137732.post-6110789981920963422009-06-10T11:48:00.000-07:002009-06-10T12:55:59.696-07:00Introducing four previously unreleased Charley Harper images...<br /><br /><br /><p style="float: left; width: 175px; margin-left: 5px;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=342&amp;zenid=737061d84a54032d531455f1c357106b"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px;" src="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/images/Potbelly.jpg" alt="Pot Belly" border="0" /></a><b>Pot Belly</b><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=329&amp;zenid=737061d84a54032d531455f1c357106b"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px;" src="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/images/HomewardBound.jpg" alt="Homeward Bound" border="0" /></a><b>Homeward Bound</b></p><p style="float: right; width: 175px; margin-left: 10px;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=7704097354773137732"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px;" src="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/images/NeckandNeck.jpg" alt="Neck and Neck" border="0" /></a><b>Neck and Neck<br /></b><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=343&amp;zenid=737061d84a54032d531455f1c357106b"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px;" src="http://www.charleyharperartstudio.com/images/Spoon-fed.jpg" alt="Spoon-fed" border="0" /></a><b>Spoon-fed</b></p><br /><br /><br /><p style="float: left;">These easy to frame, smaller prints range from $25 to $50 and make excellent gifts for Art lovers and Harper fans.
