Digital photo frame specific media processorSamsung Electronics has released a new series of media processors designed specifically for the digital photo frame (DPF) market. The S5L2010 series of cost-effective, high-performance processors enables DPF developers to offer compelling next-generation multimedia functionality to optimize the photo and video viewing experience.
Samsung's new S5L2010 media processors will be on display at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in meeting room N238 on the second floor of the North Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center."Digital photo frames are fast becoming a must-buy gift for sharing memories with family and friends," said Dr. Yiwan Wong, vice president of marketing for Samsung's System LSI Division. "We believe this new series of processors for the DPF market has raised the bar on consumer experience with regards to performance and available features."
Working closely with OEM and ODM customers to develop the performance requirements for entry to mid-tier DPFs, Samsung's new S5L2010 media processors include powerful hardware accelerators for computation-intensive tasks. For example, Pet portrait performance tests show that Samsung's S5L2010 processors are able to display 15Mpixel JPEG images in less than 3 seconds including reading the file from embedded NAND, JPEG decoding, scaling and drawing to the LCD. This is significantly faster than any other competitive product on the market.
In addition, DPFs that incorporate Samsung's new S5L2010 processors have the capability to quickly and efficiently decode video and audio in a variety of multimedia formats including Unframe painting MPEG-1/2/4, Xvid, Motion JPEG, MP3, WMA, OGG and AAC.
These new media processors also integrate additional features including an ADC for touch screen control, SLC/ MLC NAND booting, built-in RTC, a LED PWM driver for the LCD backlight, an audio PWM 2 channel output, TV-Out, and DVB-T interface which reduces bill-of-material costs. The S5L2010 media photo frame processor is housed in a quad flat package.
Manufactured using 65 nanometer CMOS process technology and built on an ARM9 core, Samsung's new S5L2010 media processors feature a SoC chip with a display controller that can support either analog or digital LCDs up to XGA resolution. Other features include an advanced memory interface for embedded memory and all major memory card formats pet portrait oil painting including SD/MMC/SM/MS/CF/xD, advanced graphics capabilities, USB 2.0 OTG, infrared input and real-time operating system support.
Samsung's S5L2010 media processor is sampling now and will be linen canvas in mass production in the first quarter of 2009.

The latest exhibit in the Community Artists' League's continuing series features a combination of oil paintings on canvas and hand-dyed silken fabrics.Artists Mary Lou Flatt and Lizz Harris joined forces to present the CAL exhibit for January. The exhibit is on display in the Goldie Mayfield Gallery at E.G. Fisher Public Library in Athens.Harris said it was Flatt's idea to exhibit their artwork together, and they coordinated the pieces side-by-side.I hung hers and then she hung mine," Harris said. "I think it all sort of came together.""We both thought it would be neat to do what we have done in this show," Flatt added.Flatt's first painting in the exhibit dates to 1992. Her later works are not dated, an oversight she plans to remedy."That was one of my first ones," Flatt said, pointing out an oval-framed painting of her granddaughter playing in a fountain.
She mainly paints from portrait oil painting, but also occasionally takes her inspiration from still lifes. Her painting of a blue-crested bird was inspired by a photo she saw in a book."My favorite (subjects) are birds," she said.Flatt said her grandchildren inspired her to paint and it was a neighbor, the late Helen Barham, who taught her to work with oils."We would paint together and she would teach me ... everything that was important in a painting," she said.Flatt learned to paint using oils and it remains her favored medium."Oils are forgiving," she said, adding you can correct errors easily. "It takes a week, at least, for an oil painting to dry."The exhibit includes Flatt's paintings of four of her seven grandchildren: Rachel, Steven, Kevin and Shannon. Her other grandchildren - Jennifer, David and Brian - have also been the subjects of other paintings.One photo in the exhibit shows Kevin wading in the creek on her farm alongside Flatt's dog, Gypsy
Although many of her paintings are large, Flatt displays them at her home in the Sanford community south of Riceville."My walls look bare right now," she said.Flatt has been a CAL member since 1992."It's been a great opportunity for me to meet fellow artists," she said. "This I do for myself."Flatt retired from her full-time teaching job in 1990 after years of teaching special education classes at Riceville, Calhoun and Rogers Creek elementary schools. She now works part-time as a substitute teacher for Athens City Schools."I started out doing it for a friend and it mushroomed," she said, adding she now substitutes for all classes. "I love the variety."Flatt prefers to paint during early morning hours and she has been known to spend all day working on a piece. She begins each painting with a sketch and applies paint over top.Flatt and her husband, Jerry,have
three sons, Dr. James Flatt of Huntsville, Ala., Joel Flatt of Dothan, Ala., and Jeff Flatt ofMcMinnville. Harris said that Oil painting reproductions of the exhibit features a few framed art pieces, but mainly her fabric art."I'm taking this concept and working it into my scarves," she said of the framed pieces, which feature quotations.In addition to scarves, Harris's art on display includes kimonos and caftans. She said her fabric art "is all about feeling good and having a sense of fun."
That "sense of fun" is inspired, in part, by a color therapy class Harris took several years ago.In addition to creating her own art, Harris teaches at The Arts Center, Wellington Place Assisted Living of Athens and NHC Health Care of Athens. Oil painting reproductions the senior citizens she works with seem especially uplifted by the artistic experience.

Sotheby's To Sell Rediscovered Masterwork By Lucio Fontana - Concetto spaziale, 1961
Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) Concetto spaziale of 1961. Estimated at £5-7 million ($7,650,000-10,700,000). © Sotheby’s London.LONDON.- Sotheby’s announced that it will offer such as oil painting for sale the recently rediscovered, museum-quality painting Concetto spaziale of 1961, by Italy’s foremost Contemporary artist Lucio Fontana** (1899-1968). From the artist’s celebrated Venezia Series, Concetto spaziale is completely fresh to the market and has been hidden from public view for almost 50 years. The painting Frame on canvas will be included in the London Contemporary Art Evening auction on Thursday, February 5, 2009 and is estimated at £5-7 million ($7,650,000-10,700,000).
Commenting on this masterwork, Cheyenne Westphal, Chairman Contemporary Art Europe and Oliver Barker, Senior International Specialist, Contemporary Art, said: “We are thrilled to be offering for sale such a remarkable work by Italy’s most important Contemporary artist, Lucio Fontana, from his most sought after series. Concetto spaziale is not only stunningly beautiful, it is one of the most prized works from his entire output and testament to the artist's genius and tireless innovation. The painting is one of the most successfully conceived and executed paintings in the Venezia cycle and its sale will provide collectors with the unparalleled opportunity to acquire a masterpiece of 20th-century European abstract oil painting.”
Concetto spaziale, which was acquired directly from the artist in the 1960s, has resided in the same private collection for over 45 years and the compelling appeal of this museum-quality work is that it has been unseen virtually since its creation. In the three generations of Enrico Crispolti's catalogue raisonné for Fontana's oeuvre, Concetto Spaziale features as a legendary enigma among the Venezia cycle, the same black and white photograph that reappeared in each of the 1974, 1986 and 2006 editions. The painting has not been seen in public since it was exhibited in the 1960s and the re-emergence of this outstanding work on the market represents an historic event in the exhibition of Fontana's art and a milestone for the scholarship of his work.
This sublime painting, which belongs to Fontana’s extremely rare and very short Venezia cycle of 22 paintings from 1961, each in this unusually large square format, measuring 150 by 150 cm (59 by 59 inches), was inspired by and dedicated to Venice. The gallery oil painting for sale In this series, the artist sought to capture the city’s intoxicating beauty, its transcendental atmosphere and its unique marriage of architecture and water in an abstract oil painting language consistent with his evolving conceptual project known as Spatialism. Fontana was invited to contribute to the Arte e Contemplazione exhibition at the Centro Internazionale delle Arti e del Costume of the Palazzo Grassi (owned by the entrepreneur and patron Paolo Marinotti) and painted the 22 one and-a-half metre square paintings dedicated to Venice in the first half of 1961.

CLINTON HILL – An artistic trio have come together at the Clinton Hill Art Gallery for an extraordinary show titled “Maiden Voyage V – Ordinary Objects,” with a free talk with them this Sunday afternoon.The exhibit is on view through Feb. 1, and this Sunday’s “Meet the Artists Behind the Art” series free talk, from 2 to 4 p.m., marks the Fourth Anniversary Art Exhibit in the neighborhood’s Classical oil painting first ground-level gallery storefront, at 154a Vanderbilt Ave. The talk features spotlighted artists Mahtab Aslani and Jennifer Maloney.The popular gallery was open four years ago and is owned by director Lurita “LB” Brown, who first started Clinton Hill Art and Framing Gallery 18 years ago at 583 Myrtle Ave. It also marks the acclaimed Israeli sculptor and Kensington Terrace resident Yasmin Gur’s first show as a curator outside of The Crossroads Café, which she co-owns with Suzanne Meehan.
“We are all very excited about this beautiful show,” said Gur, also an educator and entrepreneur. “The paintings and sculptures make a personal connection with their artists and viewers in a very direct way for both. Their creation and the technique involved is an intensely personal experience, conveying that to the observer.”The current show features painters and art educators Aslani and Maloney along with Gur’s plywood sculpture. Aslani, originally from Tehran, Iran, lives in Bensonhurst and became friends with Gur, born and raised in Arad, Israel, when they first met on student visas while attending Brooklyn College in the late 1990s.
Brown praised Gur’s selection of the show’s artists, noting that Gur believes that their “Classical oil painting style continues to explore art’s beauty in the skillful use of just paint and brush.”Aslani’s images, on 3-by-5-foot oil paintings, the show’s press release states, “remind viewers that the personal drapery and random arrangements of undergarments can capture light, shapes and forms that create a new visual imagery” of finely woven decorative fabric objects “that express femininity and sensuality.”
“She effortlessly juxtaposes a figurative painterly style and abstraction,” said Gur about her friend’s paintings. “It makes you go behind the images and see what creative force was involved in creating them. There are layers of shape and color involved.”“I continue to use fabric as a source of inspiration,” said Aslani on the ArtToGo.com web site. “Although maybe traditionally associated with femininity, the models of my new paintings are selected for the sake of their color, texture and form in order to emphasize visual matters rather than to elicit specific symbolic associations.”
Brooklyn native Maloney, a painter and educator who lives in Marine Park, “reveals personal storytelling in each painting” through the “use of contemporary lifestyle objects,” states the press release. Maloney’s Realism style turns viewers into explorers of “ordinary utilitarian objects” whose intrinsic beauty is often overlooked.“Objects fascinate me for their function, form and the value we place on them,” said Maloney on her web site. “In my work, I seek a balance between the documentation of a moment and the monumental iconic quality of the ordinary object.

Brooklyn native Maloney, a painter and educator who lives in Marine Park, “reveals personal storytelling in each painting” through the “use of contemporary lifestyle objects,” states the press release. Maloney’s Realism style turns viewers into explorers of “ordinary utilitarian objects” whose intrinsic beauty is often overlooked.“Objects fascinate me for their function, form and the value we place on them,” said Maloney on her web site. “In my work, I seek a balance between the documentation of a moment and the monumental iconic quality of the ordinary object.

No Houston family with connections to the Oil painting and gas industry should overlook a family trip to Bartlesville, Okla.

Struggling against great odds and human frailties, Abstract oil painting Oklahoma's early oil seekers carved fortunes beyond imagination which served as the basis for the international corporation which thrives today.
The Inn at Price Tower is a showpiece of Bartlesville. This is, by far, the most unusual hotel I've every stayed in. Built in 1956, it is the only skyscraper ever built by Frank Lloyd Wright. The building was originally designed as the Price Pipeline Company headquarters coupled with an Modern art deco apartment component. This newly-renovated property with 19 beautiful, art deco rooms overlooks the green vista of Bartlesville. The top three floors, which can be toured, are just as the corporate Price Company used them. Wright described the intricate copper building as, he tree that escaped the crowded forest.?It features the famous compression and release style found in so many of Wright's designs. The on site restaurant, oppear,?is wonderful.

Allen D. "Big Al" Carter, an immensely productive artist who defied stylistic trends and commercial expectations to pursue his singular vision on no one's terms but his own, died Dec. 18 of complications from diabetes at Virginia Hospital Center. He was 61 and lived in Alexandria. Mr. Carter had exhibited his works widely since the 1970s, often receiving ecstatic reviews from Oil paintings, but he was never fully comfortable with the world of art galleries and patrons. Instead, he spent 30 years teaching in alternative schools in Arlington County while compulsively drawing and painting at home.
His Reality oil painting is in the permanent collection of the Corcoran Gallery of Art and, during the past three years, was featured in museum exhibitions in North Carolina and Minnesota. He was also a photographer early in his career, and his photographs of elderly relatives in rural Virginia were featured at the Alexandria Black History Museum in 2007. Mr. Carter sold some of his artwork to friends and collectors, but he was reluctant to part with much of it. As Famous painting working feverishly at all hours of the day and night, he amassed a cache of thousands of paintings, drawing from nature and collages that varied from wall-size murals to miniature watercolors that could fit in the palm of his hand. Most of his art has never been seen in public.
"He is a particular type of Washington artist," Mary Battiata wrote in The Washington Post Magazine in 2006, "someone who was understood by peers to have the promise to make it in New York, but who for one reason or another -- temperament, taste, fear, arrogance or some combination -- decided to stay here and fashion a different, quieter career and life." About Modern art pictures Mr. Carter stood 6 feet 3 inches, weighed 340 pounds and possessed a gregarious, larger-than-life personality that made him an unforgettable character to many who knew him. He was known to one and all -- including himself -- as "Big Al" or just "Big." He was sometimes perceived as an unschooled "outsider" artist, but in fact he had a solid education in oil painting history and technique. "Carter's art is protean, large-hearted, never prissy," Washington Post critic Paul Richard wrote of a 1985 exhibition at a local gallery. "Warmth pours from the walls. To walk into the gallery is to accept Big Al's embrace." A 1990 New York Times review said his paintings "suggest boundless, uncontrollable freedom.complex world of reality, dream and art." wholesale oil paintings Despite such acclaim, Mr. Carter did not allow his artwork to be shown in the country's art capital, New York, where he could have found greater renown and remuneration. He thought the commissions charged by art galleries were too high and broke with his longtime Washington gallery more than five years ago.

Pet portrait oil painting

After a very productive morning of bass fishing at SouthWind Plantation near Bainbridge, Ga., I was awaiting lunch in the main lodge. Of course, bass fishing was not to be the main attraction. An invitation from Ed Weatherby had brought me there to hunt quail with Weatherby's new D'ltalia side by sides. A rainy morning brought on the bass fishing, since I'm less averse to fishing in the rain than hunting in it.
As I strolled through the beautiful lodge, my eyes were drawn to a large oil painting of two pointers. My artistic eye is admittedly untrained, but the painting seemed to blend various aspects of classic 19th century dog art.
The Pet portrait oil painting themselves were painted with close attention to anatomy, yet with strokes that transcended realism. The landscape oil painting was muted almost to impressionism, like a memory in which most of the details have gone vague except the cherished sight of the dogs. This trait called to mind the work of Percival Rosseau. And yet the dogs’ tails were perfectly parallel, a famous touch of Edmund Osthaus.
I figured the painting must have cost a fortune, coming as it probably did from one of the managers, and I strode over to see which one had painted it. To my surprise, a thin red signature in the lower right corner read: “Dargan Long, 12-06.”
“Who in the world is Dargan Long?” I thought out loud.“Oh, Dargan’s one of the boys that guides here at the lodge,” drawled the cook. She directed my attention to another smaller painting that hung over the back of a mounted whitetail deer. This one depicted two setters on point in the piney woods. Their mouths were slightly ajar, like dogs that have run far on a warm day.
“Yeah, that Dargan,” she observed, “he’s really talented.”“When can I meet this man?” I asked.“Well, Honey,” she said—I love the way Southern women talk—“we can introduce you to him after lunch.”
That afternoon, it was my pleasure to hunt with Dargan Long over his own Pet portrait oil painting: Maggie, a Llewellin setter; Rex, a German shorthair; and Jack, an English cocker. Even the names of his dogs hearken to an earlier time, much like his paintings. Although Long may share talent and style with some of the old masters, his story is decidedly less aristocratic than theirs. And the story is worth telling, because the art emerges from it.“My father died when I was three years old,” he said.
