The framed custom artwork in the lobby of Wilmington Rubber & Gasket have a wacky coastal theme of whimsical fish and sea creatures working in the shop cutting gaskets and hoses. The cool cats are the customers waiting for their wares.

Perhaps the Painted Personality Pet Portrait?

Sometimes a client would rather remember the “essence” of a pet’s personality rather than the photo accuracy of the particular animal’s photo-realistic characteristics. We all know the lay of our particular pet’s fur, the twinkle in his eye, the crooked expression, the missing fang, the bent tail, etc. Paintings are a chance to do what the camera cannot do! Sometimes it would be nice to remember a beloved pet in a wacky-whimsical, colorful, less realistic way.

Interpretations in paint by Alana’s Art will capture the idealistic quirkiness of your pet’s one-of-a-kind personality,  preserving that image in textural, colorful, sparkly, stylistic way. These kinds of portraits make your heart smile every time you pass by. Your friends and visitors will be drawn to the painting over and over and need no explanation of what a character you best beast friend must be!

Call Alana for a portrait of your pet’s personality! USA 910 232 5427.

A scavenger named Diligence.

Banded Bandit painted by Alana Solomon. Copyright 2012. All Rights Reserved. Call Alana USA 910 232 5427. Email: whatfaux@aol.com

A Scavenger Named Diligence—A poem by Alana Solomon

That sneaky ole gal behind the trash can,

doing what only a bandit can.

She sniffs and sifts and keeps an eye out

for any who’d follow his own keen snout.

Her ring-tailed plume follows close behind

as she visits with hopes of a succulent find.

Her inky black mask secures anonymity

all through the night and all through the city.

With lightening-quick paws she fingers and draws

remains of the day up to her jaws:

melon rinds, clementines, yoke drippings, greasy chitlins,

peach stones, chicken bones, an apple core, need I say more?

She shuffles along in her thick fur stole

with long street shadows, a lonely soul.

Is she off to the ballet or perhaps the shows?

Unseen in shadows she comes and goes,

to Blackwater Cafe perhaps, who knows?

Where does she live? Where does she sleep?

When the hustle and bustle begin on the street?

Down by the icehouse on the deep Cape Fear,

in the limey-green marshes surrounding the pier,

to the old live oak, the muddy path leads,

whose hollow is dry and packed full of leaves.

She’s off with a scurry; I thought “what’s the hurry?”

till silver light streamed by the livery surrey.

The morning hour creeps, in with a haze,

as summer sun floats while blue moon fades.

Her name is Diligence tufted in grays;

I’ll see her again after faithful days.

Her Maker is glorified by her meaningless task,

finding she’s consistent behind her mask.

Night after night she emerges once more

to the alley she comes for the trashcan pour.

Her Owner supplies all she needs for her life

while she’s wild and free and free from strife.

Glitter on her nose and gold leaf in her hair…….

This is where the ideas HATCH!

Alana Solomon, native of Reidsville, N.C., U.S.A., resides in Wilmington, N.C., U.S.A. As a graduate of East Carolina University School of Art, she received a Bachelor of Fine Art in Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. Alana is the owner and master artist extraordinaire of Just Faux Fun, Inc., based in Wilmington, N.C., U.S.A., specializing in custom finishes, murals, furniture, etc. Her latest venture, Glitter & Gold Leaf: The Artwork of Alana Solomon, is a collection of one-of-a- kind splashy-colorful, impressionistic, framed artwork. Alana’s artwork is on display at The Purple Door Boutique, located in downtown Reidsville, NC, USA. and also at Tickled Pink Sophisticated Gifts in Lumina Station, Wrightsville Beach, NC, USA. Alana Solomon’s painting “Washing Matilda”was on display for 4.5 months in Louis Cameron Art Museum—State of the Art, Art of the State exhibit curated by Susan Davidson: Senior Curator, Collections & Exhibitions, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Nicholas Cullinan: Curator of International Modern Art at Tate Modern, London, Apsara Di Quinzio: Assistant curator of painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Timothy Anglin Burgard: The Ednah Root Curator of American Art and the Curator-in- Charge of the American Art Department for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

Alana’s artwork has been published in Kodansha Publishing’s Weekly Mornings Magazine and American Showcase Directory of Illustration.  Alana’s illustrations have been featured in the Nibble Me Books Necco Candy Children’s books. She has designed logos and printed materials for North Carolina Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, Julianne Farms of Reidsville NC, Garmon Housing of Bolivia NC, Vintage Limousine Service Reidsville NC, Currie Builders Inc. of Greensboro NC, and Kodansha Weekly Morning Magazine.

Alana is inspired by all things art and believes that in art, there is exactly and only one rule: “There are no rules!” Her favorite motto is: “The best artists are children!” and “True artists never grow up!” From crayons, to finger paints, to walls, to easels, Alana has immersed herself in paint, painting, drawing, murals, faux painting, painted furniture, portraiture, fashion, children’s books, photography, and many other forms of artistic expression. She will encourage anyone to explore the creative world of art by nature-discovery, self-discovery and ultimately discovering the original Artist, The Creator Himself. Alana is passionate about using the gifts on loan to her, to inspire others to do the same. She definitely lives by the motto: “Do what you love; Love what you do.” And if you don’t love what she just did, hang around, you might just love the next thing she does! She’s on a rampage and paintings are emerging at an alarmingly exponential rate!
