Harley Quinn Author Writes Biker Master Piece

December 25th, 2009 L.J. James No comments

When I received the Novel “Iron Horse Rider” from the Author Adelle “Legs” Laudan I have to admit I was expecting a book about a Biker fighting and causing trouble. You know your Typical Biker Bad Boy Story. What I received was something I was not expecting at all.

The Novel Tells the story of a hardcore biker named Shane, Shane had always kept women at arms length and showed them no emotion, That was until he met Kelly. Try as he might this biker who had always kept to himself could not fight off his feelings for her and soon found himself Married to the Women of his dreams.

After 10 years of Marriage Kelly is taken from Shane in a Tragic accident while they are Ridding. Shane finds everything around him reminds him of Kelly, His home, his shop, even his Clubhouse. His Brother’s try to Support and comfort him, but the looks of sorrow in their eyes for him is more then Shane can bare. He soon realizes staying in the world He has Known and loved is not an option. Soon Shane is on his Iron Horse with the wind in his face and no destination! As Shane rides He finds the pain he feels for his loss begin to lessen!

With advice from a Mysterious Biker he keeps running into, Shane finds himself at a Micmac Indian Camp. Shane is welcomed into the Camp by the Tribes Chief and soon finds himself becoming Friends with the Chief’s Daughter Tia who has recently lost her Husband! While the two Share their pain they soon begin to feel something for each other. Is it possible for either of them to feel love again while still suffering from such a great loss? A member of Tia’s Tribe is taking no chances and tells Shane to stay away from Tia. He soon finds out you never tell a Biker like Shane what to do!

I found the writing in this novel while in no way simplistic was easy to read. I also found the story easy to follow ! Adelle “Legs” Laudan describes and expresses the feelings of Biker Brotherhood perfectly. When She explains Shane’s feelings while Riding you can see in your mind where he is and you can almost feel the wind in your Face!

In life we all have our worlds we live in, When something Terrible happens sometimes We cling to what We know. Shane does what He as a true Biker must after such a terrible loss, He goes out and finds not only a new life but a new World to live in for a while.

I have to say I enjoyed the story. It was not what I was expecting or would usually read but I found I could not put the book down. I think some Men who Ride will enjoy this book, While many I feel will find it a little too much of a Romance novel! I do believe almost all Women who has ever ridden a Motorcycle or dated a Man who rode one will love this Novel.

As I know now Adelle “Legs” Laudan is a writer of Motorcycle Romance Novels, She works to promote the image of Motorcycling one book at a time!

How To Find Excellent Art Dealers Who Can Help You Build Your Collection

November 26th, 2009 Dorothy Ranger No comments

What You Need To Know About Art Dealers And Buying Art

Have you thought about investing in artwork? Buying artwork takes knowledge of both the art itself, and the markets and value that pieces of art can be worth. Investing in artwork is completely unlike investing in any other kind of luxury goods currently available. This is because artwork does not have a set value, such as the value that precious metals or valuable stones can have. Even coins and stamps have set values. The value of a piece of artwork is highly subjective and can fluctuate sharply from day to day and from piece to piece.

An art gallery can be a great way to learn about art, as can an art dealer. However, keep in mind that an art dealer often has a very focused viewpoint when it comes to artwork. A gallery can give you information about the esthetics of a piece while an art dealer will often focus more on the relative monetary worth of a particular piece. Consulting with both can give you a very well rounded perspective on artwork in general.

Art dealers often have websites that you can look at to get a feel for what they are offering. They may not often have prices listed but many sites will have glossary sections where you can learn a little about art in general. You should also visit galleries in your area to get acquainted with the local art scene and learn more about art as well.

You will find that galleries and dealers have a different focus on artwork in general. You want to make sure that you get a good balance of both perspectives, since you will be living with your art collection. Most of us do not have the funds to purchase artwork just so that we can store it and resell it. We also have to live with the purchases we make. But, dealers can help because they may advise you which of two equally appealing pieces is likely to appreciate the most in value.

Remember that enjoyment of artwork tends to apply more to a personal collection rather than a corporate one. Corporate collections will be viewed by clients as well as employees. Because there is a wide range of people viewing each piece, an impartial advisor is important. Personal preferences just do not enter into the equation with corporate art. Corporate art is all about increase in value and promoting the message of the company rather than the way it looks. A traditional industry will want traditional art that does not offend its clients or investors. A creative industry can often get away with more modern and non representational artwork.

When looking for an art gallery or a dealer, you should use both magazines and the internet. Look for phrases that related to the specific style you are looking for, such as modern, post modern, figurative and so on. Take the time to research galleries and dealers extensively before contacting them. Look at how their collections change over a period of time, so that you get a feel for the direction they are headed. If you visit a gallery or dealer and do not see anything you like, it can be good if you have ideas about pieces you have seen in the past so that you can discuss what your particular tastes are.

If you are building a collection, you should focus on original artwork rather than prints and reproductions. A reproduction can be a great way to afford a piece you love but cannot afford, but you do need to remember that for value, only originals will do. A numbered giclee reproduction will also keep some value, but an original is something you should buy whenever possible.

Keep in mind that a gallery will often lean more toward promoting its own artists rather than those that can help increase the value of your collection. If it is an investment, you may not want to deal with a gallery. However, a gallery can give you more of a personal feel for the artwork that they sell, since they usually establish a close relationship with their artists. A dealer can be more sterile and impersonal, and focused more on money rather than love of art.

An art dealer can be a fantastic way for you to build a beautiful and valuable art collection. Taking your time and doing research before choosing one to work with can be the best way to ensure you are happy with the choices they make for you.

If you are looking for a new way to decorate your home, you may want to look on artist websites so that you can find a few good art dealers out there.
