Paintings for Everyone! (Jul 2006)

Dear Friends,

We're especially proud to present our 2006 Novica Paintings Exhibit, featuring original paintings by some of the most creative (and many still undiscovered) painters around the world!

Paintings Home Page

Bring home a thematic masterpiece, experiment with an edgy abstract, or color your hallway with the life and joy of a rich cultural or religious inspiration. You'll discover original paintings ranging from under $100 to several thousand dollars - every one a bargain, and every purchase a blessing for its
creator!

Highlights include:

***Abstract paintings - from cool to hot, dark to enlightened, complex to serene.

***Religious & Spiritual - from Christ to Mary, saints to angels, Buddha to dharma, Ganesh to Surya... perhaps the world's finest collection of belief, passion, and faith.

***Impressionist Paintings - luscious, tempting dreams conveyed masterfully on canvas.

***Cubist Paintings - one of my favorite categories, these phenomenal works are hard to categorize as simply cubist, they bring together so many different influences and approaches, all worth seeing.

***Landscapes & Seascapes - The Amazon in all its mystery, magnificent ships at sea, languid lagoons, untouched forests, deconstructed barrios, haystacks in the rain, vivid rice paddies, gilded gables, ancient pagodas, the eye of a hurricane.

Enjoy!

Vases, Colors & Carvanal! (Feb 2006)

Dear Friends:

We wish you could be here with us in Rio this week! Preparations for Carnaval festivities are going on everywhere. This is one of our most exciting times of the year.

Most everyone becomes an artist (at least temporarily!), creating fantastic samba costumes, dreaming up colorful parties -- all sharing in Brazil's most famous and joyful event.

In celebration of Brazilian Art and of our beloved Carnaval, please view NOVICA's Brazilian Gift Showcase!

Also, please enjoy the colorful, contemporary art glass vases in our Vases Home Page. These wonderful handblown vases showcase the spirit and color of Brazilian culture.

Many artists, such as the Seguso Family, infuse their masterful vases with the wild, high-energy colors of Brazil.

Abracos & Beijos from all of us!
