The Crionna Collection: November 2006

http://crionnacollection.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

The art collection of a non-wealthy San Francisco couple. Saturday, November 04, 2006. Veerakeat again. Melicious and I visited his garage last week (open studio weekend #2) where he had perhaps 40 8x8's like these displayed in a similar fashion. These little paintings are a great way for folks to collect an artist that they like, as well as get away from the poster in a few spots. Posted by crionna at 4:48 PM. Bay Area Art Quake.

The Crionna Collection: June 2007

http://crionnacollection.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html

The art collection of a non-wealthy San Francisco couple. Sunday, June 03, 2007. There was an interesting story on Marketwatch last week. About financing of art purchases. Notably, Sotheby's and Citigroup offer art loans. That Sotheby's should do so is interesting, seems there's more money to be made on the loans than in selling the art (well, duh, just do the mortgage calculation one day crionna.ed.). And are guaranteed to get the piece you're bidding on regardless of price, is it really worth the price?

The Crionna Collection: May 2007

The art collection of a non-wealthy San Francisco couple. Sunday, May 27, 2007. New Art: Cambria, CA. Update 6/2/07: Below I mention the terrible frame that held our new work, "California Neighborhood", hostage prior to our purchase and that a new frame was being completed. Well, here is the piece in its new frame. We love it! However, we did purchase this: "California Neighborhood" a 10 x 8 oil on canvas by Tracey Sylvester-Harris. That said we enjoy Tracey's work a lot. Below, I've shown a number o...

The art collection of a non-wealthy San Francisco couple. Saturday, May 13, 2006. WOW, just, WOW.Henry Villierme. Melicious and I visited The Thomas Reynolds Gallery last night before going to the Giants game. We were one of just a couple people there at the time and luckily had a chance to view all of the work on display from many different angles. That was a stroke of luck because in addition to the work on display for sale, Thomas had hung Highway Study #2. I live in your house too. And, oh wow, what ...

The art collection of a non-wealthy San Francisco couple. Sunday, April 09, 2006. MARTA CHAFFEE (now Marta Chaffee Stang) was represented by Thomas Reynolds for, I think, just one show. We really like this piece. Maybe it's the subject, flowers growing in The Lompoc Valley. Posted by crionna at 5:32 PM. Bay Area Art Quake. Photography by Quang-Tuan Luong. Long Time No See. Long time, I know. I cant even promise Ill mak. Melissa Chandon, an artist new to me, opened a .

http://crionnacollection.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html

The art collection of a non-wealthy San Francisco couple. Saturday, October 21, 2006. Long time no post, I know, I know, but hey, I've been busy at a start-up that's working to beat up on Visa/MasterCard and the cabal of banks that earn billions of dollars in fees for doing very little. So, anyway, a new post. Last weekend we went to see an open studio of our friend James Jarrett. Posted by crionna at 1:04 PM. Bay Area Art Quake. Photography by Quang-Tuan Luong. Long Time No See. Melissa Chandon, an arti...

The Crionna Collection: June 2006

http://crionnacollection.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html

The art collection of a non-wealthy San Francisco couple. Thursday, June 01, 2006. Sorry folks; two weeks of business/family travel have made it impossible to update the blog as frequently as I'd like. I'm hoping to do better during the Summer. Does the money you earn allow you to do "real" work or are you now addicted to the cash and cranking out more of the same to the detriment of your art? Perhaps you can honestly deduct the cost of trips to Italy or France for "research" or plein air work? Ah Paris,...
