International vocal artist Thana Alexa was in the house with The Jordan Thomas Orchestra at The Italian American Civic Association of Vero Beach, 1600 25th Street, Vero Beach, FL, on November 18, 2017. There was not a seat to spare in the Bella Italia Ballroom at the club for the sold out Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, First Lady of Song, honoring the 100 year anniversary of Ella Fitzgerald’s birth in 1917. Like the Fitzgerald recorded song “Too Darn Hot” (from the 1956 album “Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook”) sung by Alexa during the evening, this performance was a blazing ray of sunshine that left the audience uplifted and inspired. All positives were heard as guests took their time leaving the premises at the end of the show, many making an effort to express appreciation to the phenomenal vocalist, as well as to conductor Jordan Thomas and his talented orchestra members.

GetShotByElla.com ravens alight

Posted on July 17, 2017 by getshotbyella

Four ravens by GetShotByElla.com creator Ella Chabot: Left to right: “Morning Raven,” “Starlight Raven,” “Twilight Raven,” and “Midnight Raven” (copyright Ella Chabot 2017). Photo Shot By Ella Photoart, LLC

Four ravens, their conception was inspired by a sign from above…literally. GetShotByElla.com creator Ella Chabot was heading out the studio door, when suddenly, she was blasted by the sound of loud cawing overhead. It had been raining for most of the morning and the air was heavy and humid. The silver gray cloud cover was thick, reflecting and reverberating the calls of four large ravens circling over the building.

Coincidentally, Chabot was en route to set up glassware, tees and artwork for an exhibit at the former Raven Nest Design gallery in Sebastian, FL. Hence, the idea to manifest four ravens to add to her exhibit at the gallery began to percolate in Chabot’s mind.

A couple weeks later “Morning Raven,” a black raven with yellow eyes, “Starlight Raven,” a white raven, “Twilight Raven,” an indigo color white necked raven,” and “Midnight Raven,” a blue eyed black raven, (copyright Ella Chabot 2017) were born.

Four painted raven masks by GetShotByElla.com creator Ella Chabot were included in a display booth with The Crystal Fusion Collection glassware (hand etched with Chabot’s designs by Connie Dexter Spicer), Get Shot By Ella designs tops, tees, and clothing, and some of Chabot’s original paintings and other creative works featured at the former Raven Nest Design gallery in Sebastian, FL.
