    So many people have expressed an interest in doing a fine art portrait like the jazz artists get - so read all the way through this newsletter for a special announcement!

    KSBR 20th Anniversary Birthday BASH!

    An exhibit of Jazz Art by Bettie Grace Miner will be on display at the KSBR Birthday Bash.

    "With more than 25 headliners playing with each other in a giant jazz jam, each Bash is a once-in-a-lifetime concert for both the artists and the audience. The music will never happen in exactly the same way again." KSBR

    Bettie will be in attendance at the Bash with an exhibit of Jazz Art prints on paper and canvas (giclee') featuring many of the artists, including some very special surprise guests.

    New Jazz Art Series
    Piano

    June 25 & June 26, 2007

    Spaghettini Italian Grill & Jazz Club

    A new series of fine art jazz pieces will be unveiled and on permanent exhibit at the 20th Anniversary Party for Spaghettini Italian Grill & Jazz Club.

    Each of the nine pieces work together or separately. I have fondly nick-named the series "Build a Band" because that's just what you'll be able to do.

    The abstract series includes paintings of very hip jazz musicians, each playing an instrument that is part of a jazz band. Guitar, Saxophone, Trumpet, Bass, Drums, Percussion, a Singer and more. A hint of what will be unveiled is "Piano" pictured here. Do you recognize the club our pianist is playing in?

    The Limited Edition Giclee's on canvas are hand embellished. Each piece can be printed up to 35" square. The series is designed to fit together with any of the other pieces. You can "Build Your Own Band."

    Please join me at Spaghettini's for the Anniversary party and the debut of this new art series.

    Eric Marienthal will host the party with special guests. Eric has invited all of his friends for this outrageous party: "You are not going to want to miss these shows!" Limited Reserved Seating is available. Call 562.596.2199

    Custom Portrait Commissions

    by Bettie Grace Miner

    ~ Now Available ~

    So many people have expressed an interest in getting the "Jazz Art" treatment for themselves and their families that I have been inspired to work out a portrait package for just that purpose. Hey, musicians shouldn't have all the fun, right?

    Private portrait commissions include a personal photo session at the Miner Works of Art Studio in Los Angeles, California. From those photos, one will be chosen to create a painting. You can choose prints on canvas or paper from 16x20 up to 40"x60".

    • Commissioned portrait can be traditional photography or fine art paintings.
    • You can also choose to have a painting created from a favorite photograph.
    • And it's not limited to people - your fuzzy family friends are also welcomed!

    Special Summer pricing for a custom Portrait Package starts at $500 (usually $1500-$2500).

    Please contact Bettie to schedule or for more information.
