  1. In this challenging financial environment, it is vital that we continue the flow of great art coming from of our artists' studios. We are committed to keeping the art flowing and to continuing our financial support of our artists even if that means thinking outside the box a bit at present. Fortunately, we've built up a bountiful collection of fine paintings and sculpture over the past few years - we can afford to be flexible occasionally. Our retail display space is full and we need to make room for new art that we're expecting.

    So, in light of the present economy and just in time for the holidays, several of our artists are being gracious and flexible enough to allow us to offer you the opportunity to place bids on a small selection of pieces, making it possible to acquire desired art at an appreciable savings. As the smart investor knows, challenging times equate to some of the best buying opportunities.

    We're accepting silent bids on the following artworks until 12-noon PST, December 7th. Working with the artists, we've set very reasonable reserves on the works -- no, we're not giving them away -- but, subject to the reserves, the art will be sold to the highest bid received by the auction deadline. Submit your bids to [email protected].

  2. Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for discovering my gallery videos which are a work in progress. I have been posting the videos to our Facebook page to see what kind of reaction they receive. So far it has been very positive. The eventual plan is to have them on the QCFA (www.cordair.com) web site as well, but I want to work on making them much better before I do. RIght now I am experimenting with back drops, lighting, editing and the limited amount of music choices that are appropriate and currently available on You Tube. Don't worry, there will be more and they will get even better as I learn more about the process. I am very glad that you are enjoying them in the mean time, despite some of the challenges and wrinkles that I am still working on. I will be moving them from my personal You Tube page to a Quent Cordair Fine Art You Tube page as time permits.

    That being said, If you enjoy the gallery, one of the most helpful things that you can do for us is to share our links and images on Facebook with your friends. You can also use our new "share" buttons that appear on the left side and bottom of every page at www.cordair.com to help others discover our sunlit world. The more people who know about our gallery the better off and more motivated our artists will be to continue to create such uplifting and inspirational work. :)

    Thanks for your help and please let me know if there is anything that I can do to assist you.

  5. Quent Cordair's newest short story, "Sheltered" has debuted on Amazon and is available for only 99 cents on Kindles. It can also be downloaded to computers and smart phones using the free Kindle reading app.

    “A year and six days underground without sunlight or breeze or contact with the world above—whatever might be left of the world above. A year and six days without touch, without unrecorded voice, without contact, without friends or family. If only they had listened, if only they had been ready. But he—he had prepared. He was Reginald B. Wakefield, and he hadn’t died. A wave of vindication washed over him, lifting and sweeping away all doubt and fear. He had been right. He raised his eyes again to the hatch cover above. . . . He had been right.”

    In “Sheltered,” the timely short story by Quent Cordair, one man follows his own course in response to growing fears of impending disaster and societal breakdown.

    Enjoy the story. There are more on the way! :)

  8. In the months leading up to the release of his much anticipated novel, Quent Cordair has begun to publish his short stories on Amazon. The first short story, "A Prelude to Pleasure" is getting rave reviews and has made the #6 spot on Amazon's "Hot New Releases" list and #4 by average customer review. Quent's story can be downloaded for 99 cents to Kindles as well as to computers and smart phones via a free Kindle app.

    "A Prelude to Pleasure" is the tale of how a man of accomplishment and wealth goes about finding his true love--and what he discovers along the way, with the help of a boy who reminds him of who he once was.

    One reviewer said, "The characters are nicely drawn and the dramatic tension unfolds according to a clever, inexorable logic: Will the hero ruin his life with a bad decision -- or have the courage to make the right decision?"

    Quent will be publishing many of his short stories on Amazon over the coming months. This one is sure to wet your appetite and leave you wanting more. :)

  11. Earlier this week I proclaimed this"Bryan Larsen Appreciation Week." I'm part owner of the gallery and representative extraordinaire, so I'm allowed to do that! :D

    In honor of this auspicious event, we are offering a selection of Bryan Larsen originals via silent auction. Or if you prefer, "esthetic adoption." You are invited to contact the gallery, on or before 3pm Pacific time, Wednesday, November 18, 2009 with your bid on any of the artwork posted here. Be fair. If you are the highest bidder over the private reserve price, you win! If you bid retail or higher, we will also include a personal dedication on the art to you from Bryan. How sweet is that?

    All of these originals are very affordable to begin with and may make the perfect holiday gift for your favorite Bryan Larsen fan. Unless of course, you want one all for yourself! ;)

    See my Director's Corner blog post for more information.

  12. On the subject of Arvid, does anyone know what an "artist proof" is? I was looking at the gallery, and saw this one, that I like, because of how the color fades off into the canvas:

    http://www.cordair.com/arvid/southern.php

    I do! :) Arvid's artist's proofs are much more limited in quantity and the artist goes in and paints over the printed image. Further enhancing the image by adding brush strokes and texture. Feel free to call me at the gallery if you would like more information. 707-255-2242

  13. Glenn Beck mentioned a couple of days ago that he was going to look for some "pro capitalist" art for a show that he wants to promote. What better resource is there than Quent Cordair Fine Art? If you have time, please contact him via [email protected] and let him know what your favorite pro capitalist pieces are in the gallery. This could be huge!

    Thanks in advance. Linda & Quent Cordair, Quent Cordair Fine Art, www.cordair.com

  14. From a letter to Sam Axton, from Quent Cordair, Sept 27, 2001

    Once upon a time, in the early weeks and months of a war in defense of a country, there lived a sculptor who had only the face to finish of a most magnificent sculpture. The country was in greater need than ever of Art's fuel and inspiration, to survive, defend, conquer, reconfirm, rebuild, and thrive once again as America. The sculptor, with renewed vigor and determination, threw his efforts into what he did best: sculpt. Days, nights, coffee, curses, dejection, perseverance, satisfaction....Within a few weeks of the enemy's first strike, the sculptor had sent his clay to the foundry, and shortly thereafter was able to deliver the masterpiece to his gallery's client who had commissioned it.
