Glamourous Harbor by Artist Carol Labashosky


LIVE - TRAVEL – ADVENTURE inspired by “Miami CSI”
by Artist Carol Labashosky



LIVE - TRAVEL - ADVENTURE

Let this stunning fine art creation carry you to a surreal and glamorous harbor...

The combination of acrylic paints, beads, masonry and circular magazine clippings in this fine art piece have yielded a colorful starburst. The blue waters contain may types of hues and textures. Here, you see a magical and modern interpretation of a harbor side, city seascape. It could be Miami, or  Asia, the orient -- let your imagination take hold and lead you to a destination of your choice. The shoreline and architecture is reminiscent of many oceanside promenades.

Gold leaf paint, UV protected sealants and a special tipping technique created special canvas-drip highlights. All the detailed techniques make this fine art piece remarkable and beautiful and in the fine art tradition of scraboarding.

The canvas is a substantial 3 feet by 3 feet and would make a bold and bright statement on any wall.

Ready to hang, this fascinating and finely crafted painting will provide years of viewing enjoyment -- travel on a jet-setting journey to a far-away ocean-inspired adventure

Scrapboarding to retail alternative fine art in Louisville's historic 4th Street corridor


Block Party Handmade Boutique is among four new businesses currently under construction on 4th Street, Louisville, Ky.  just north of Chestnut Street between the Brown and Seelbach hotels.

Block Party Handmade Boutique is a collective of artisans who will retail ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, woodworks, photography, crafts/accessories and 3-D fine art Scrapboarding, dubbed an alternative art form by the new retailer. Fine art and many other crafts and artworks will occupy a newly furnished eclectic refurbished store. An attractive glistening window display will attract shoppers to venture into the unique boutique. The store will open by mid-April.

"I'm extremely pleased to be involved in such a creative undertaking to provide downtown shoppers a place to search for all different kinds of art," said Carol Labashosky, creator of 3-D fine art scrapboarding." More than 30 artists have been juried into the new operation, according to Mary Levinsky, entrepreneur and owner of Block Party Handmade Boutique.
